Christmas
I was reading the comments on some peoples' blogs and I got the idea from my mother, off of Maria's blog, to write about Christmas. Plus I'm just in a very festive mood right now. I downloaded some Christmas music, not nearly enough but some of the true classics, and that's what I'm listening to right now. But seriously, what is up with fake Christmas trees? They don't even smell like real trees. And you can get stuff that makes them smell real, but I'm sorry nothing is as good as the real thing. How can you have a fake tree? Especially when the fun is in going out in the snow (which unfortunately we don't have quite yet) and chopping down that tree, then tying it to the vehicle or in our case in the trailer, dragging it in the house, and finally, the best part ever, decorating it. You just can't beat all of that. No way. Also, what's with the lack of snow? It feels like fall, and we're fully into December now. How sad. Well, we better have it for Christmas or that would just be depressing. I don't think there has been a Christmas yet where we haven't had snow. I don't think I could even handle that.

Are you kidding? There's been lots of times when we haven't had snow for Christmas (in fact, think of recent history, and going snow tubing the week after Christmas in manufactured snow, which was more like iced mud).
So, how's the paper coming? I finished mine tonight at 11:00. I'll let it set a couple of days, then see if I need to revise anything. Anyway, I actually titled my paper "Miss-iah". It's on the speculation of whether or not Jesus could have been a woman. You'd be surprised at what kind of writings are out there that apply to this.
Speaking of which... Emily, what was the name of the feminist theologian who spoke at St. Kate's? Was it Elizabeth Johnson? If so, I used a lot of her stuff. She's very Catholic and has a great way of presenting things.
Anyway, I have a killer take-home final to finish by Tues. too. I'm hoping to work on it over the weekend a bit.
Oh, and we're planning to get our Christmas tree on Sat. morning. Wanna come?

When you wrote "...dragging it in the house, and finally, the best part ever," I was just sure that you were going to follow it up with "vaccuming up the needles!"
