I had the Christmas spirit at the tree lighting ceremony the day after Thanksgiving, I had it again when I watched Christmas Vacation at a friend's house in front of a fire eating popcorn and reciting lines, but now I seem to have lost it. I blame it on the lack of a Christmas tree. We intended to go on the search for that most important of holiday symbols: The Rock Family Christmas Tree, but it's been pouring rain all weekend. Thirty-eight degrees and pouring rain. It's sapped all my Christmas spirit.
Maybe I'll find it in the snow-covered mountains in Colorado. We're heading west this weekend to celebrate my milestone birthday with Amy and Kristin. I just need to survive four more days at school, write sub plans, pack our bags, wrap our presents and then we can head out of this gloomy weather.
We're intending to head north during the week between Christmas and New Year's. I'm sure we'll find Christmas spirit there. I'm wondering where you all have found yours. I've always loved hearing Claudia tell me about the places she's found the Christmas spirit, like the little cafe near Algoma.
