I’ve been told all year that it is always this warm here at Christmas in NC. But 
it’s not! My brain tells me that it used to be cold in December. At least colder than it is in April. But the weather tells me a third thing which is that I have to use the air conditioner in my car every afternoon on my way to work because if I don’t I will bake into a Christmas pudding.
Yes ’tis a rather warm Christmas, I must say (<–read with British accent of your choice).
Because it has been so warm I have been forgetting quite often that it is Christmas. It doesn’t help that I keep thinking last year was 2009 and therefore keep trying to tell people that it snowed last year in December when it hadn’t (that was in 2009, do try to keep up). Instead of hot chocolate and fruit cake my holiday season has been filled with trying to buy some headphones that work and a newly discovered nut allergy.
But recently it has started to feel a little more like Christmas because I got some early presents! Yay! ::elf dance::. Something about being in someone else’s house and being showered with gifts is better than being in your own and showered with gifts. I mean, seriously, I’m supposed to be showered with gifts in my own house. The best part is that I have more gifts to open this weekend.
Is this shallow? Probably. Childish? Definitely. I was going to put a sentence that started with the word ‘but’ here but there really is no justification for this post.
