Readying for the Journey Home

It's two weeks until Christmas. And about 12 days until I start my journey home for the holidays. 

My bags aren't packed, I'm not ready to go- yet. I have presents to buy and wrap, I have to find someone to look after my fish, and I need an oil change for the jeep. 

Like most years, I am driving. And I find myself getting more and more excited about it. There's just something about driving through this country that thrills me. It's so huge and awesome. 

This year, I am making the drive solo with Remi as my co-pilot. It will be a little strange to not have someone who can talk back to me, but at least this way, no one will get tired of all the Christmas music that I plan to listen to. 

My route home has been mapped out. It looks like a long drive, but it's really not that bad. And I'm actually excited to get on the road and just drive!

The countdown on is on! 

I am: Little Miss Christmas

Tomorrow is the first of December. 

And that means that I am finally able to wear my Santa hat at work. I adore Christmas. It is my favourite time of year. And since Christmas began at work on November 3, I've been waiting impatiently for December to roll around.

Most of my regular customers know my love for Christmas. And one completely fantastic couple calls me 'Little Miss Christmas'. Mostly because I've been bopping around for weeks singing Christmas carols and songs and reminding people how many days until Christmas. 

So, if you stop into my shop tomorrow, don't be surprised by my Santa hat. And don't complain about it either. Be thankful that I waited until December to wear it!
