Frozen. Frozen. Frozen. It's cold outside. Trees and cars never defrost. I'm finally understanding all those Christmas carols Texans learn can't fully appreciate.

Baby It's Cold Outside
Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas
Getting ready for the holiday has been fun. I brought Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Candy Cane Hersey's Kisses to the kids... These flavors are completely American. We read The Gingerbread Man, The Night Before Christmas and made Christmas cards.
The word for word translation for snowman from French is "good man of snow." Isn't that great? People tell to soak up the holiday the French way and not worry about being away. But it's difficult. There are so many little things to miss.

Oh I love and miss you so!!!! But you know what else I love? Dreaming about how wonderful and new and exciting it is that you get to experience Christmas in France, and show them some of that lovely Texas Christian cheer that is signature to you. You're so special, in the best sense of the word.
Love you!

Down in Texas, we are having a Christmas Hayride singing Christmas Carols, eating tamales and drinking hot chocolate. I bought a Santa Hat for my ceramic monkey in my backyard. We are all doing fine, but missing you.
A Old Good Man of Snow,

Oh, I miss you both so much. Thanks for making me laugh. Uncle Vic, it's just not Christmas without you being Santa. I miss the Joosts!
