O Hai!
Like my hair? The lady gave me a trim with layers this time. I really like it.
I haven’t written a long post in a while, and I figure it’s time. Woohoo, lucky you, right? 
Brr. It is COLD today. The high is going to be a whopping 19 degrees F. I plan to stay snuggled inside for most of the day, although Adam is talking about possibly going out for dinner tonight. I’m also fighting a migraine, which isn’t much fun. Thankfully, it’s fairly mild.
Yesterday, I sent off packages and Christmas cards, and I have a few more cards to fill out and send tonight. It was after they were all addressed that I remembered that I’d wanted to do the Christmas letter thing for the first time this year–the Selzers seem to like that. I think I will still do it, but only for family and very close friends.
This is my first Chicago Christmas for real for real (I was here 10 years ago, but it wasn’t the same), and the city is so pretty during the season. Macy’s on State Street decorates its windows. Michigan Avenue is all lit up. The Salvation Army bellringers seem so excited and happy even though it’s freezing outside.
