when the snow falls thick and silent
Today I was struck by the holiday spirit. I am now officially excited for the 2008 Christmas season. Here are some reasons why:
1. The snow! It snowed like crazy this afternoon. The day started out all grey and blustery and ended up all white and wintery and lovely.
2. I went to Buy the Book and had hot chocolate. It is obviously not too far into the Christmas season, though, or I would've been offered booze.
3. I finally handed in my art history paper. It is impossible to be filled with holiday cheer when one is preoccupied with thoughts of Emil Nolde and German Expressionism and versus woodcuts etc.
4. I have Christmas-ified* the colour scheme.
5. I spent two hours in Paper Umbrella working on the window display and talking to Theresa about gift wrap and cookie baking and whole chickens and book binding.
6. I know I mentioned the snow but I have to say it again. SNOW!
In non-Christmas related good news: last night there was a crazy and awful and amazing travel-into-the-past episode of One Tree Hill that Chad Michael Murry wrote. Honestly, what could possibly be better than that? Nothing. Nothing could. That is the best.
*My computer's spell checker is trying to tell me that Christmas-ified is not a word. How absurd.**
**Rhyme!

Ah Christmas...
My favourite Emil Nolde painting is Summerclouds.
Oh and I forgot about Herbstmeer.
I feel exactly the same way about the snow. I wish the semester was done all the more. Congratulations on your awesome Christmassy day.
P.S. You're right about the double dactyl - but I think the first one is pretty deadly. Come on. Hopalong Cassidy.
P.P.S. Assignment done! Yay!
Ahhhh snow!
