Christmas

My God - I am overrun with Christmas already! Some stores have had their early X-mas stuff out since mid-August. Man, I remember back when I worked retail and I had people yelling at me because of a small Christmas display up in the back of the store at Halloween. Not that I didn't agree with them, I find the retailification of Christmas gross. I prefer to have Christmas be about family and the traditions that we have and not have it be about a shopping festival.

I do love the tree, lights and cozy feeling that I get this time of year. And this year I even get to have real eggnog. Sadly I am super excited about that. My good friend Evan Williams makes a splendid nog. Add a little nutmeg and enjoy.

Hm. Keeping up with the kid makes typing entries sorta tricky. She is almost crawling, she can get up on all fours and rock, and something tells me that this is the last of the quiet time we will have. Not that we are all that quiet, but things are about to go up a notch or two or ten. And in the next couple of days we will have our Christmas outfit photo shoot for the Christmas cards.

And now as I have a squiggly little monkey I think that it's time to runnoft.

WOO!

Got a new job! Suddenly everything is all sunshine and flowers! Man, life is gonna be rough for the dogs next week; they will be back in their kennels during the day. Misha, however, might throw a party. Finally!! I get to wear all my cute new work clothing! Yay!
