As this year winds up, we're just hunkering down and letting it wind. I think in the past two weeks, I may have spent a total of two evenings at home (tonight being the 2nd). Our lives have gone a little haywire lately and once I can get this ward Christmas party done with, I may finally be able to breath without a dark cloud hanging over my head. I hope someone will enjoy this party because I certainly won't be!
William has been home all week with a fever and will be home at least one more day. Thankfully, Ryan will take the next two days off so I can finally finish our Christmas shopping kid/sick kid-free. Rose is too observant to take shopping nowadays. And about Christmas shopping, I'm breaking all of my Christmas gift giving rules this year. I am not putting a single bow on any of the presents (they'll be lucky to get those stick-on gift tags), none of them are handmade, and there are several cheap plastic things purchased at Wal-Mart. Nothing blog-worthy, for sure.
In the meantime, I'm listening to Christmas music with a vengeance, hoping it will drag us into the Christmas spirit. We still have a few more days, so things could turn around.
I think the two best Christmas presents of all will be having the Christmas party over, and if my neighbors would go a day without cooking a big pot of what smells like curried-onions. The BEST present, I tell you.
Gotta love those 3M removable hooks
Fell asleep listing to Christmas music on the radio - I love the tassel between the toes.
