it's definitely looking like...

there's a song from the movie "love actually" called christmas is all around.  that is a very true statement in the city nowadays.  it definitely looks like christmas in the city and not just because of the awesome made for tv christmas movies running on ABC family and the hallmark channel.  i recommend the "mrs. miracle" ones...so sweet and precious.

last night, netter, doc and i attended the 67th annual park avenue tree lighting ceremony outside the brick church.  i truly believe that the feeling of christmas enters while i'm at that event.  it doesn't feel like the christmas season until i'm outside freezing while singing carols with about 400 of my neighbors.

very much ready to embrace all that the season has in store.  it also helps that my christmas tree is up and decorated with about 600 lights and lovely silver and purple ornaments.  oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree...
