As you can see, visiting Santa did not go well this year.  In fact, it was even worse than last  year!  She wouldn't even sit by herself.  It all turned out OK though when she got her reindeer hat when she was done.

Anna Meets Santa

So I was not sure if I was going to go through with it this year.  I knew it would not go well, I knew it would be expensive, and I was not going to waste the time or money.  

Enter Facebook, and all of my friends cute pictures with Santa, and I caved.  Plus, the really crappy mall right by our house had a really nice Santa with no lines.  So, Anna met Santa and Anna cried as expected.  I suppose you cannot put a cost on memories, except that I can and it is 10 minutes and $21.

Christmas in New York City

Kyle and I went to New York City to see the Christmas sights.  Here is a recap of our visit.

1. First off, I love NYC.  If I could afford to live there, I would...  If I were 10 years younger, I would...  If I planned on living the single life, I probably would too...  But, I’m not rich enough, young enough, and I enjoy the company of my husband, pets, and thought of a family someday, so I just visit.
2. We took the bus, next time, I’ll take the train.  Between really cramped seats, no electricity or internet as advertised, a gross bathroom, and still-drunk-the-next-morning guy sitting too close to me, the train is just so much nicer.  You can’t beat the price though.
3. We saw Promises, Promises.  It was good.  It probably is not my favorite musical, but Sean Hayes, Kristin Chenoweth, and Molly Shannon were spectacular.
4. We’re pretty much members of the Upright Citizens Brigade now.  This is our second time to NYC, our second time catching a comedy show, and for the second time, it was the funniest $10 I’ve ever spent.
5. We shopped and ate, and shopped and ate, and shopped and ate.  We did a lot of shopping and eating.  There were probably many more sights to see, but I just could not help myself.  And, since we stayed in SoHo, everyone’s getting fake purses for Christmas!  (just kidding)
