Concerning Burning

We're an odd family.

Tonight we had our annual Christmas Tree Burning, so we convoyed out to the sand dunes and set fire to half a dozen dried-out Christmas trees and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the flames. Is it awful that I love burning the trees after the fact more than I love picking them out or decorating them for the holiday?

I did something new this year and wore a hat. I know that quite a large percentage of my body heat gets released through my head, but I've always hated wearing one because of how it messes up my hair and makes it all static-y. But some very awesome people in Utah taught me the usefulness of wearing hats when it's cold out, and that kept me really warm tonight. Plus I sat really close to the fire.

All in all, a fun night.

  1. Hats are hot, and burning things is hott (the extra T is for extra talent.). I'm glad you had fun.

  2. It would be a weird trait if it were anyone but YOU Camilla!
