Hooray, it’s Christmas Eve! I can hardly believe that the hourly countdown has begun. The kids have already started asking me for updates as to how long they have to wait until Santa will arrive. It’s been what has seemed like a long time coming but the big day is finally within our reach! I […]
Three more days…
Honestly, I really can’t believe that it’s almost Christmas Day. And I’m kind of sad about it.It may be a little bit silly to already be upset that something is ending, when it hasn’t even happened yet, but anybody who has been eagerly anticipating this specific morning for 364 days understands the inevitable letdown that […]
Wrapping presents…who came up with this idea?
Phew. I’m done. I have completely finished all of my seasonal materialistic obligations. The hubby and I dropped the kids off with my folks on Saturday evening (thank you very much Pops and Gamma, so sorry about the ribbon incident) and finished up with what has become a very drawn-out gifting experience.

I’m not a “Crafter”
Have you ever noticed that the Christmas holiday brings with it the expectation that all those who celebrate will do so with creativity and imagination? There are cookies to bake, Christmas cards to craft, gingerbread houses to construct and candy to make. Your neighbors are decorating their front porches with wreaths and adorable little candy […]
Christmas Tree…an Update
Well, the tree went up yesterday and today was the day for decorating! I always look forward to this part of the holiday season because I think there is such joy in sorting through ornaments of past and present.
