Christmas Over The Years...

Christmas over the years. Surprisingly, I don't have that many pictures of me at Christmas. I expected a lot more but as I hunted through my many photo files on my computer, I didn't find many. At any rate, here are the pictures I do have. Most of which I do think come from Christmas. Some may not have, my mom will probably end up correcting me on those!

I'm gonna say, first Christmas?


I don't think my mom would have put herself through this torture unless it was Christmas.


I was very into the holidays back then, or at least my mom was. We even had a green bridle for him. I miss these Christmases though. After dressing up in all the bells and everything a bunch of us would head out into the streets of Burbank and Christmas carol and collect canned goods. It was a ton of fun and I really wish I could drive all the way down there again and do it. I wonder if it still occurs every year. It was always fun.


Aussie was even in the spirit of the holidays.


Then there was last year, our beautiful tree.


Our horse statue with lights.


From the front.


And Working Man knows his wife very well. I think he gave me five pairs this Christmas, two Christmases ago. I think he didn't quite know what to get me, but he figured it out.

When I get pictures of our Christmas this year, I'll have to post those. For now, this is all I've got.

My Holiday Hair...

This never happens, my hair never does anything for the holidays. This year, it's celebrating Christmas with me. It's gone all...well, you'll see.


First, locate what you want and read the directions. For the sake of your hair, read.the.directions.

There's my choice. It really is easy.


Before you pick your final color, check the sides of the box and make sure that the color you're getting will have the effect on your hair color you expect. If it's not there, it's not meant for your hair! Find another one that is!


This is what I looked like before. *Cringe*


After making my hair all dye covered.


After you shower, your hair is going to look frightening. It's not going to look anything like it will when you've dried it.


Fire engine red! That was not at all what I was looking for!


Ah, after a session with the hair dryer, the color cooled to a light copper.


Some of the blonde is still in there, kind of giving me unintentional highlights.


And gives it dimension.


If you go artsy with the photo, I become a little orange again.


The back of my head, again, the blond peeks through. I'm glad it did in the end.


In case you couldn't tell, I like it.
