This was probably the laziest Christmas I’ve ever had. We slept in and then spent a leisurely morning eating the French pastries we had bought the day before while watching A Christmas Story on tv. Eventually we went down town and wandered a bit and took pictures while the streets were empty. After going to see a movie in the afternoon we picked up some fast food and spent the rest of the evening watching TV and planning our trip to Moab the next day. The forecasts were pretty grim and I was worried about lacking snow tires and four-wheel drive. We were concerned about imminent blizzards that were hovering in all directions (so the weather reports said). We just about cancelled our plans to go north but after a reassuring call to our friend from college, Alicia (whom we were meeting in Moab), we changed our driving directions and committed to the drive into Utah.
