I missed today but considering the travel day I had I think I can be excused...
8:50 flight to Boston and the security line in Seattle was crazy- I got on the plane at about 8:40 or so. The flight took about five hours
Three hour layover in Boston and then another five hour flight to Iceland.
Pretty much just got on the plane directly to go to Stockholm but we had to sit on the plane for an hour because of delays at Arlanda airport in Sweden.
Two and a half hours on the plane after it took off and I made it to Sweden and had about an hour and a half car ride to my grandparent's house.
Yikes.

"So wrap those presents, fill those stockings
Love from me to you, to you, to you
So grab your winter scarves and mittens,
Build a snowman too, whoo, whoo
So trim that tree and let's go sledding
Who has Christmas cheer?
We do! We do! We do!"
-Why Can't It Be Christmastime All Year, Rosie Thomas

"It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round."
