But aside from the family, I have to say that it just doesn't seem like the holidays while it is 70 or 80 degrees. I guess it is all what you are used to and what puts you in the Spirit of the season. Happy Holidays everyone!

I understand that the different climate does make it feel different...however, if you do what you always did in this new home, than you will get what you always got. (At least that is what Dr. Phil says.)
Put up a tree, invite people over for simple things. Get some good soup at Toojays and some easy sandwich fixings and have a couple of friends or seven over. Go to some of the musical events and whoa baby, after a couple of years your month of December gets fuller and fuller and your heart gets all FILLED with that wonderful spirit of the season.
I wish for you and your dear father and all family, a wonderful satisfying Christmas. It is a
good thing you are doing, being with your dad.
