Christmas in Alexandria

This last week has begun to feel more and more like Christmas should. The weather dipped into the 30's (that was the high on most days) and we brought the decorations out of storage. We attended our first holiday party of the year on Thursday night at the firm of Quinn Gillespsie and Associates. One of the associates happens to be a good friend and I've had the opportunity to work with many of the people there over the years. We had a great time and enjoyed catching up with people over mini hotdogs and hamburgers. The National Christmas tree was also lit that night but it was too cold for us to walk down and see it. Friday night we went to a movie and afterwards decorated our tree. It didn't take long to find the right one since it's only 2 feet tall and was in our attic. Maybe next year we'll try the real thing (doubt it). So, 15 mins later we had it unpacked, decorated, and set on one of our end tables. We left the music on a little longer just to get through the rest of the playlist we had going. All in all, we had a good time and we are now ready for Santa to visit (look for our placemark on Google Earth).
