Yeah, It's true! It's almost February, and I am going to make a Christmas post. That is because I have had creativity blockage. Back in December I posted about some
Flexibility having to do with the Holidays, because I'm pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas. But, by the kindness of a friend, we were in possession of 5 free tickets to the Maaco Bowl in Las Vegas to see our favorite BSU play some football the Saturday before Christmas....a 12 hour drive. Christmas in Vegas? I wasn't so sure, but the promise of seeing my Grandmother in California the day after the game had me consenting. Besides, I came to the realization that I was probably the only one who cared about those silly traditions. We were to drive home on Christmas Eve.
As it turns out a major storm watch was in effect for Utah (our route home) on Christmas Eve. So, (more flexibility here), we packed up a day early without seeing grandma to make it safely home. We still hit 2 hours of blizzard, but that was far better than twelve.
I really should get some kind of award here. But, time with KT, Air Force Man, Ladybug and BLT was time well spent.
FYI, BSU won! So worth the trip...
What a trip-- good for you for finding the nugget of joy in it!
ReplyDeleteTraditions are wonderful and I agree with you. Christmas in Vegas does sound strange. Looks like a great trip.
