White Christmas or the Curse of ARCTIC BLAST 2008

Crazy, record-breaking amounts of snow, which is breaking my style. Spending Christmas day in Portland instead of LA as was originally intended. Jacob (featured in video), Mitchell (my husband, in video) and I each took turns at the Plaid Pantry with $20 to fill another's stocking. Actually turned out to be fun. We also dined with Megan and Colin, the Halls and the Mackins. It's kinda cool to observe others in their native holiday festivities. Anyway, here's hoping for a more climatic ending to the holidays. Going down to my parents' this weekend and there's a re-scheduled trip to LA. For now - a this video of the snow - from several days ago now if you can believe it.
