I love the holidays! Streets full of palm trees, and litter, and the occasional homeless junkie who's friendly enough to give me a wave. I offered to let him stay in our guest bedroom, but he declined. Too bad, luckily it's not too cold about here. I gave him some money for clothes and a hotel room instead, he seemed happy enough with that.
Still, that's not why I love the holidays, I love the music, and the lights, and the decorations, and the smell of peppermint everywhere. Oh, and of course, so many baked goods.
