Well it is that time of year again, and this year I am in California for it. I have not been here for Christmas for two years. Last year was of course in Oslo and the year before we spent it in Lithuania. It was very fun, but I am happy to be here for the holidays.

Its funny to see my mom go into action sending out all of her Christmas cards and Christmas party invitations. The whole house has turned from a normal Southern California suburban home into a holiday extravaganza.

I do love how people around here go all out with their Christmas lights. Its so festive and fun. I will have to take some pictures and post it for you in the future!
