O tiny tree, O tiny tree! I think it is so adorable. See, Christmas somewhat snuck up on us this year and before we knew it "Boo! It's the week before Christmas!" So instead of killing ourselves trying to get a large tree, and we certainly weren't going to get an abomination of a fake one... we got a lovely little potted bonsai Christmas Tree. So there it is in all it's glory, swimming in a sea of presents. I've never had such a simple time decorating a tree before, and the topper is my favorite, for afterall, is there much difference between an angel and a faerie? Merry Christmas everyone. This little elf is done wrapping presents and stuffing stockings and is off to dream of sugar plums.  

What a beautiful tree. She may be small but adorned with love. 

This is my lovely faerie tree topper.

Snow! No really, SNOW! Lol, the zoo actually cancelled holiday lights which apparently never happens. I was one of maybe a dozen staff members that made it into work today and amazingly, some guests did show up just to go to the zoo. They were more insane than I was! It was an interesting day, I ran around and covered several people's positions doing everything from ticket taking to animal care. And this was while trying not to fall on my arse or drown in the snow banks. What a day!

I need some hot chocolate.

Huggles!

The snow is so beautiful! And such a lovely pain in the ass! It took me two hours to get home from work this evening... grrr... I'm tried, cold, soggy, and oh did I mention tired? And guess what... I'm working twelve hours again tomorrow! Oh the joys of being me.

But no seriously, I really do love my job and enjoy spending time there, especially since they pay me to watch animals and talk about them!

Sigh... off for a hot bubble bath and then a lovely warm bed only to be woken up all too soon.

Huggles!

Nothing makes one feel better then visualizing the source of my pain exploding into tiny little bits... Ah if it were only that easy!

But seriously, I need to take some lessons in cheer this season and just get over the past. Life moves on and I have so much in store ahead of me! I'm so excited about all the possibilities the future holds for me!

It feels good to be happy.
Huggles!

Sigh. The word describes my mood of lately impeccably well. I'm finding it hard to get into the holiday spirit and the dismal state of financial affairs in my family is not boding well as far as the likelihood of my siblings being happy Christmas morn. I feel disconnected, isolated, alone. I'm steeling myself for the cold grip of dark hands pulling at my ankles... Usually it does not come so early in the winter season but it never fails that the darkened sky and frigid wind spreads to my mind and tries to suffocate me in the grip of depression. It's a good thing I can hold my breath for so long while I search for the sunlight on the surface....

Sigh.
