In my house, Christmas cannot officially start until after Thanksgiving, and that is because turkey day is my husband's favorite day of the year. He also is part of the camp that feels each holiday should be celebrated before you move to the next. Unofficially, I have been listening to Christmas music since... sometime around Halloween. It is hard for me to keep track because Christmas music is what I use to help lift my spirits after a particularly challenging day at work. Currently I am listening to Christmas Radio on Pandora even though I have plenty of my own jolly tunes, it's nice to listen to all the different versions of the songs.
The weather here confuses me because it is December, and tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 60s for the high temperature. Of course, like in most places we have had our cold snaps and a few weeks ago on one of the chillier days we took Pippin on his first adventure to the beach. Eric and I go to the beach far more often during the colder months than we do in the summer. Traffic to the beach is more than Eric can handle. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pictures from Pippin's beach adventure.

Pippin was very unsure about the waves. He wanted to go in the water, but when a wave would come he ran away!
Me and my fur baby.
Pippin didn't actually dig this hole, but we thought it was cute to make it look like he did.

For now it is lesson plans and grading for the next three weeks. Then we are very fortunate this year to get two whole weeks off for Christmas break, and I am very much looking forward to that needed time off from my students.
Until next time, Happy December and I hope the Christmas season brings you as much joy as it brings to me.
