Christmas in California
The power was out today. Yep. Not only in our apartment, but the gym. So the man and I had an unexpected day together, which was nice. We never get to sleep in. But since we didn’t want to sit around in the dark all day we went and bought a Christmas tree. We didn’t have one last her, partly because we moved in last december and were too busy unpacking to go out and get one. They are surprisingly cheap, ours is about six feet tall and was only 25 bucks. Then we went and got a star, and a string of lights…and that’s as far as we got. I’m told that in other places there are like, forests where you can find and cut down your own tree. They don’t have that here, our trees come from parking lots and empty spaces, they are wrapped up by high school students who are trying to get extra money. There is no snow here, only cotton on lawns and roofs. No icicles, just twinkly strings of lights.
But with that chirstmas tree, it sure smells like december.
