Central Park is decorated for Christmas with candy canes, lights, and Christmas trees. My classroom has a string of lights hanging over my whiteboard. The main office has a nativity scene and large Christmas tree. Our house has outside lights that go along our arches and lights that are strung in our dining room. Santa was even spotted (in a blue suit!) parading around downtown and wishing everyone Feliz Navidad!
Does it feel like Christmas?
Not so much! Ken and I still can't believe that it is December 3 and that Christmas is just around the corner. With the warm weather and rain it feels like its spring and summer all year round and that Christmas would never come. I guess its a good feeling when you are trying not to be too anxious about only have 2 weeks over work left before Christmas vacation, but it is definitely a strange feeling. I think what is really missing too is having our very own Christmas tree in our house with our ornaments and all. That always makes it feel more like the holidays! Or maybe we just have to wait to be bombarded by snow and cold at the airport to get our fix :) Who knows? What we do know is that we will be home in 18 days. See you all soon!
It hasn't really felt like Christmas is coming here either until just recently. We put up the tree and then it snowed quite a bit yesterday. I had an interesting morning getting into work-the roads are definitely not cleared here at 4:15a! Can't wait to see you both!
