Burl Ives.

I just got the soundtrack from "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and I just love it! My sister and I used to watch it WITHOUT FAIL every year. I can't seem to figure out when it's on anymore. Usually it was on the day after Thanksgiving or something, wasn't it? Anyway, it makes me want to get back to Michigan for Christmas even more. Which, by the way, will not be happening. A- Too expensive B- No time off. So I'm not really sure what Christmas will be like this year. Hopefully not sad and sorrowful, because really that is NOT what it's all about. Maybe Lisa and I will head over to Pendleton and hang with her parents and sister.

Ack. Wish I had a different job. Now, wait...don't hear that wrong--I am SO THANKFUL for this second job. Really, really, truly, with all my heart (most of the time) thankful for it. But I think switching back and forth between "day job" and "night job" twice a week is wreaking havoc on my health. That's all I'm saying. And if I didn't have to work on Monday after Christmas Day I could potentially think about trying to get back to Michigan. That's all I'm saying.

Go listen to some happy Christmas music that makes you think happy chilhood memories. it'll make you smile. I promise!
