100 words | a very davis Christmas

Right now I am taking everything in slowly, enjoying, savoring every bit of these next few weeks in Davis. You see, the population in this little college town nosedives in December and (thanks to the four week winter break these lucky students get) a good chunk of January as well. The line at safeway is shorter, parking in downtown is manageable, and they’re opening a Whole Foods here (ok that’s not related to students leaving, but still…). It’s funny, I used to think big city life was for me, but now, I get joy when my little town is deserted.
