The tree is finally standing in my living room, decorated and all. And although every year I bitch about not having a white Christmas, after about 10 days of heavy snow, I've changed my mind. Our country just isn't equipped to handle a lot of snow. We almost have run out of salt for the roads. Trains that can't seem to ride on time and sometimes not at all. Long traffic jams all day long. As far as I'm concerned, Father Frost can leave the country at once. I'm getting cranky, I need some candy.
