El Duende

Dear Blog,

I am watching one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time--Elf (a.k.a. El Duende, in Spanish). I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to watch it this holiday season, since I couldn't find it anywhere and hadn't seen it on t.v. Alas, I just happened to be flipping through the t.v. guide and saw "El Duende," but I didn't know it was "Elf" until I read the synopsis! I'm so happy.

On Friday, my Christmas vacation officially began. After work, Juan and I finished some last minute things before our Christmas party. He invited his staff over on Friday night, and we had a good time. Somehow, we ended up playing the Matchbox 20 c.d., which (as some may recall) is not my favorite. I was reminded of how Gretchen lost her c.d. and it ended up that my sister had it--I think. Anyway, I thought that c.d. was out of my life, but it has resurfaced.

Yesterday, Juan and I watched season 4 of Lost. We haven't finished it yet, but we spent most of the day watching it. I love vacation.

Tonight, we are going to go to the Zocalo. We are going to go to mass, see the ice skating rink, and eat some dinner. I also have to do a little last minute shopping. It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Merry Christmas,
