Happy Christmas


 So I've just got back from spending Christmas in Williamsburg, Virginia. Until yesterday there wasn't any snow, but the decorations were lovely. These are some of the decorations that we saw. They decorate with fruit and veg and greenery, even though that's not historically accurate. Apparently Williamsburg got serious criticism back in the 30's because they switched from decorations like these ^^^ to basic greenery, which is historically accurate. So, in order to maintain their good customer relations, Williamsburg sold out and put the prettier decorations back. Even if it isn't historically accurate, it looks good, so I don't mind.

In addition to Williamsburg, we also went to Christmas Town at Busch Gardens, which despite a depressing lack of open roller coasters was still fun, if cold. Yesterday we opened what little presents we had brought with us (for those interested, I got an Aeropostale gift card, an Amazon gift card, some note cards, and a movie), went to brunch at a local hotel, and then decorated gingerbread men. The remainder of the day we watched Lost (would someone please explain to me what on earth is up with those magic numbers?) and Mythbusters, which was a lot of fun. Today we successfully drove home, despite all the hype about a snowstorm. When we got home, I received an awesome TARDIS mug from one of my best friends. And hopefully tonight I can watch the Doctor Who Christmas special!
