I miss those late November rides

I miss the fall bike rides that Utah's short falls always provide.  I went biking around London over a month ago, and it felt good to be on a bike again, even in the Unreal City.  And just this early November I rode around Versailles for an hour, surrounded by fall leaves, and now I'm missing my late November rides, and snow will surely be covering the ground when I get back to the US of A, so I told my dad to get my skis waxed promptly, so I can enjoy a different type of ride when the snow falls.  

WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER everyday is a snow day.

I have never been a Starbucks girl, but when a cup screams Christmas like this one here does, I can't resist, and who can blame me?…  "When we're together every day is a snow day." This Christmas season I have loved getting peppermint hot chocolate, and have recently discovered a love for steamed milk and gingerbread (and the best part is that it's completely legal, in terms of the word of wisdom).

MAGIC

Merry Christmas from London.  

I think I could handle this job… (I'm applying if I'm ever in London in November).

Real life reindeer. 

The taste of Christmas.  

We celebrate all the major holidays.

And luckily, so does Harrods.  After spending a week in Paris it was refreshing to return home and even better to return for the Harrods Christmas Parade 2011.  I got emotional the first time I heard about this ingenius parade, but who can blame me.  It's Harrods and Christmas combined into one mastermind celebration.  Suckers and chocolate coins have never tasted so good, and maybe it's just because it was in celebration of Christmas/Harrods, but either way it was magical.  Lala threatened to leave me if I started crying, so I tried my best to control my excitement especially when snow bubbles fell from the sky.  Where they came from is still unbeknownst to me, but sometimes you don't question magic.  I don't have my pictures up yet, but I was too excited to wait.  Christmas is here in London.
