What is it about getting older that makes that fuzzy holiday spirit so hard to attain?  It's definitely harder in so-cali to feel the spirit of the season when the sun is always out and there's no snow.  Hopefully after freezing and seeing the sights, lights and hearing festive sounds, I'll take a bit of that back with me from NYC. 

For now to kick off the season and thanksgiving week is one of my favorite holiday songs.  Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas.
