I am one lucky girl living in the Nation's Capital during the holiday season. Everywhere I look there is something festive sparkling! This year my holiday started Thanksgiving when I got to spend it down on my Uncle's farm in Southern Virginia. It was quite the experience, not really being a farm girl myself. I got to hang out with a calf, who was sad because they took his mom off to be bred. He kept moo-ing all day. I didn't realize that cows require courtships, but they do. It takes about 4-6 weeks for a cow to be properly courted. Anyways, Thanksgiving dinner was great. My apple pie was a hit! A real American apple pie. De-lish!
This season I've really been in the Christmas spirit. I went and got a real Christmas tree. Well, it's a teensy little one, about 2 feet tall and sits on my table. But, it's a tree and it's so pretty. I'm really proud of my little tree! I even remember to water it. I wish I had gifts to put underneath, maybe next year.

This year, I was lucky enough to get tickets to the National Christmas Tree Lighting. I've always wanted to be a part of such a historic event and am so happy this year I was able to go. We bundled up and braved the bitter cold. We found our spots, and patiently waited for the First Family to flick the switch and watch the most famous Christmas tree light up! It was so great. I hope I get to go again one day, this time maybe have seats that are a little closer :).
I can't wait to enjoy the rest of the Holiday Season and see what Santa has in store for me :) I've been quite the good girl this year. I have a great feeling about 2011, it's going to be a wonderful year! I hope to be able to give back this year as well and extend what I can to those in need.
Happy Holidays!!!
