I know we have some time still to the holidays, but this year I am thinking about them early. I normally don't think much of the holidays as my family lives elsewhere and I haven't spent the holidays with them since I was 19, but this year is different. I have an almost one year old niece to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with. I am looking forward to the holidays this year, even if I cannot be in attendance on the days, I am looking forward to sending better gifts than my normal cards.
Days like today make me wish I lived back home. :(
