Oh what a beautiful morning!

I wish I could turn into a bird and fly around the city observing the sunrise from several points rather quickly.

This church is so pretty. I love the stained-glass windows and bell tower. They built this white section on to the old church. The old part is pretty too, it's got an interesting brown steeple.

The festive Santa display at the mall brings out the seasonal cheer in me. I love Christmas lights and the bold, colorful decorations. Keeping the spirit of Christmas as it should be gets tough when presents are expected to be given.

Extravagant over-spending is something I don't do. I never charge a gift or try to impress anyone.

Finding cheap GOOD gifts is a trick. Wanting to bring pleasure to each individual with said gift, is too demanding. So I settle for a nice gift and hope they understand that the whole ordeal is not about money and getting things.
