Over the last few weeks we have watched the city transform itself into a tropical "winter wonderland". Christmas trees, lights, snow flakes, anything and everything Christmas. Although its been fun to watch the city change, it does make me a little sad to remember that Christmas is just around the corner and we are not. This will be the first year my family is not all together for the holidays, so its a little sad. But its times like this when you really appreciate how special it is to have so many years of great family memories and Christmas traditions.
