The Holidays

I heard my first Christmas song this morning. It was a total accident as I don't like to listen to Christmas music before at least a week before Thanksgiving. But it happened. It was Santa Baby the Kellie Pickler version. Not my first choice but nevertheless I think it may have gotten me a little more ready for the holidays. In just 9 days I get to fly to Atlanta on one of the busiest travel days of the year. This is then followed by a family road trip to Valdosta where we proceed to eat enough food to feed a small army. Between my brothers, my dad, my uncle and his 3 sons we can put some food away.

To personally celebrate I will be watching You've Got Mail approximately 4 times before Thanksgiving. It's got some fall in it, some Christmas and some Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks love going on. My roommate recently bought it for me cause she knows it's my favorite movie. She rocks.

For now I leave you with this quote from the movie. It sums up what I've been thinking about lately plus my love of books.

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void. - Kathleen Kelly when writing to NY152
