"Home for the Holidays"

Well, I just can't help it, I've got to crow just a little bit.  It is now 7:35 p.m. on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 and (significantly thanks to the Big Guy) our Christmas lights are up outside; all of the gift shopping is done; all of the gifts are wrapped, bowed, and tagged; the Christmas newsletter is written and emailed to all our friends and family; the stocking stuffers are wrapped and sorted and ready to be stuffed; and most of the food shopping is done.  On the day BEFORE Christmas Eve!  Of course, there is the tiny little insignificant matter of the naked, but lit Christmas tree and the totally undecorated interior of the house, but hey, that's just quibbling!  I think we just might have everything complete and in place for Christmas Eve!  Its really going to look like "Home for the Holidays!"

And because this is a rarity in the history of my household, I am totally impressed with me and Mikey!! So I'm patting him on the back and he is patting me! 

I hope that the all the hurry scurry, hustle bustle, screamin' meemies are finished at your house too!  So that all of us may actually participate in the joy and wonder of the Christmas Holiday!  Merry Christmas my new and dear friends!  I hope that you are all able to be Home for the Holidays, if only in your dreams....
