It's beginning to look a lot like winter

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 by Marta Smith
Is it my imagination or did we have a brief return to summer a week or so ago. One day I was opening a window and turning on the fan and the next I was scraping ice off from the windshield of my car, you've gotta love New England! I'm not as fond of winter as I used to be, I know that. Slogging through snow and slush and sliding on ice is not as fun as it used to be - probably because I'm not as flexible as I used to be! 
The only exciting thing about the change in weather is that it means we are getting close to the holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I usually panic on Thanksgiving because I haven't even started shopping yet.

I have actually gotten a lot of my Christmas shopping done early this year, usually I am a last minute shopper-starting on Black Friday and fighting the crowds. This year I started early and when the stores are full of crazy last minute shoppers frantically looking for inspiration and sales and that last impossible to find gift, I will be sitting at home sipping hot cocoa and reading a good book - I hope. I'm sure I will still be running around looking for just one more last minute item. It wouldn't feel like Christmas otherwise.

Before the holiday rush completely fogs your mind don't forget to sign up for the winter semester at Granite State College. Registration begins on November 22nd. If you don't like driving in the snow and ice you can always sign up for online classes for adults this semester.

That way even on those icy, snowy nights you can go to class without ever leaving your house. Happy Shopping!
