It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas!


So excited to get back to Texas, but I had a lot of fun with my fellow City Years before heading to the Lone Star State! Between ugly sweater parties, finding a puppy at school, and looking at beautiful Christmas lights and hitting up downtown Sac, it was a great way to end 2013 in California and get excited for Christmas!

Check out the awesome lights in the middle of my collage. Near Trader Joes, my favorite grocery store, there are several streets that ban together to put out killer Christmas lights! One street hung up lights across the canopy of the street, while others all wrapped their trees with candy cane lights! And on one street a man got creative and had a theme with his house and both neighbors on either side of him. He called it Christmas past, present, and future. I didn't get a shot of Christmas future, but you can see where for Christmas past he tried to replicate the house from "A Christmas Story", all he's missing is the leg lamp in the window. And then for Christmas present he has a man trying to put up Christmas lights, falling down with a firetruck there to help him down. For Christmas future he parked his smart car in front of the house and attached wings to make it look like it could fly! So cool!

For our Rosa Parks Christmas party we had a really fun white elephant gift exchange, where everyone fought for the blanket I brought, everyone avoided getting the dish soap someone brought, and where I ended up with a really cute penguin coffee mug. Our team leaders also gave everyone handmade bracelts with a word or something that reminded them of us. Mine reads "mini- Lindz' because I remind Eric of Mrs. Barber, the teacher I work with! Which is great because I aspire to be like her in many ways!


YAY CHRISTMAS!
