Christmas recap

Happy Wednesday, friends!

How was your Christmas? Mine was full of love and celebration with my family and Nick, which means we had a blast.

Nick and I flew on Christmas Eve, which was significantly less dramatic than I was anticipating. We brought two dozen candy canes to randomly pass out to people in the airport who seemed to have a ton of Christmas cheer (and a few people who looked like they needed more), which was a blast. Nick was hesitant to give any away, as people tended to react differently to a 6'3 man walking towards them with a candy cane than a 5'2 girl, but we loved it. My favorite was one of our flight attendants who not only commented on how much it meant to her, but who kept staring at the candy cane as if she'd never had an act random kindness done to her. Success!

The gorgeous Washington state Christmas day

We also instituted a new Christmas tradition, which I'm pretty sure is going to have to continue after this year. To read about it, check out my guest blog post on my bestie Sarah's blog, Sunlight After Rain and let me know what you think!

Happy end of 2011!

That is such a great idea with the candy canes!!

I do have to admit, I am usually not a holiday flier - but we encountered super sweet and happy people all along our journey. Maybe it was because wonderful people like you had brightened their days before we got there! :)

Life, Love, and Roses
