I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was a rather long break for me. I only had one day of classes and that was the Monday before Thanksgiving. The day after I tackled the holiday shopping along with every other American. I don't get up as early as the diehards. Though I did manage to get everyone finished in my family. I went to the outlet mall in Albertville and then finished in St. Cloud before heading up north again.
It started yesterday a misty like fog which made our sidewalk and patio icy. By this morning 11/28 it had melted, but was starting the rain/ice mixed. So it has done this all day today, about 30 mins ago, it has finnally changed over to snow. Now the snow is falling, the ground and roads are becoming a white mess. It certainly is begininng to look alot like Christmas... hehehe.
Speaking of Christmas. I came across a post at a message board that I visit often and some were bothered by people spelling Christmas as Xmas. I use both, and neither bothers me. The X comes from the Greek name for Christ which is Xriostis.... Hope I spelled that correctly. The Europeans began a shorthand by using the X.... basically, it all means the same. Why people let little things like that bother them I will never know. Isn't it the meanins of Christmas that is important?
Have a great week all. :)
