Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

Its freezing.

Weather channel says 38°.
I say close enough.

As much as I complain about the cold, there are a few things I enjoy.

• It means the holidays are coming (and the parties they bring with them)
• The Salvation Army people at the mall
• Scarfs
• The smell of pine trees
• Candy canes
• A Santa outfit for Jack
• Harry Connick Jr. christmas album
• Smittens *Stacie*
• The tingling feeling you get in your nose when the feeling finally comes back after being outside too long
• How smells seem to last longer. Especially if they get stuck in your clothes
• Christmas lights
• The way the windshield fogs at the bottom when you leave the defrost on too long.
• Movie nights by the fireplace
• Kids selling hot chocolate outside Wal-Mart
