So I will be here for Christmas this year. I’ve never gone on a warm vacation before because I’m the most outspoken of the family and with my alabaster skin tropical vacations are not really my thing. But, while it’s been pretty mild here in Bellingham thus far, I am getting way more excited to go here and lay on the beach for Christmas than to sulk in Spokane in the snow. All I need is some good books, more SPF 75 and a few more hats. I plan to dress like Lydia from Beetlejuice goes to the beach.
