I am SO EXCITED for Christmas! I LOVE it! I love the entire holiday season, starting with Halloween (not a perenial favorite with me, but it does sort of start off the whole holiday thing), Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. We are in the midst of a HUGE winter storm in Utah--and I love that, too! (except that I still have to get home from work and it looks pretty nasty out there). Snow is good, though.
I started skiing when I was around 8 years old. Never was that great at it, but it was fun. I spent many a winter Saturday on the slopes. My last year in undergrad, I really had only one serious class, the others were, I kid you not... skiing and horseback riding. It was awesome! :) My skiing technique was OK, but I was lacking in sheer guts. I have, however, skiied some pretty scary stuff, including a few double black diamonds (which I will NEVER do again). I haven't been skiing for about 8 years, but one of my horse-riding friends and I are pondering going for at least a half day in January. My knees will probably blow out and I'm sure I won't be able to use my quads for days afterward, but I think we'll do it, anyway, if nothing else but the laugh and a few cool skiing pictures. :)
Oh--I am getting a new sewing machine for Christmas. Plus, my gift to myself is art supplies. So, I shall update on the sewing and art forays soon. I did make my first quilt a few months ago--having never touched a sewing machine before. It's far from beautiful, but it's OK, and I'm excited for my second effort (which I have put on hold until the new machine--the old machine is just awful--and that's coming from somebody who knows nothing about machines. Alright--it might be the sewer and not the machine that's awful, but I guess I shall find out soon...).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
