Aw, Tom stopped believin'.
I put my 3' tree up a week ago. I got the lights working 3 days ago. I still don't have any ornaments on it. That just might not happen this year.
I am almost done with shopping. I need to buy some frames to go with the new portrait requested by the family and I have to find a birthday present. I'm still waiting on a couple of mail order things and I still need to do cards and a massive post office visit.
I'm afraid my giftee won't receive my gift before the 25th, but it should certainly arrive within the 12 days.
This is the 2nd year I've skipped the S. S. - mostly because I just drive my self crazy this time of year. I always end up shipping things back to the east coast by 2 or 3 day shipping. This year I did a lot of harry and david type stuff, so it is a little better this year. However, I did find that I enjoyed last year exchange even though I didn't participate. It was fun without the pressure.
and I will join again, but when my brain is a tad less scrambled.
I have my Secret Santa gift almost ready to go. I'll finish up and wrap tomorrow morning.

It's been a colourful year. I'm going to have to work myself up to a summary post -- not sure it can be done at one sitting.
But I'm still here, still reading, and still sending out good vibes to my beloved Buffistas.
Can I join that group hug? (It's good to see you, Karl.)
There's group hugging? ::looks hopeful::
My S.S. gift is just about done, and ready to be wrapped and sent on its way. By Tuesday, I hope. Wednesday latest.
Year-end posting will have to wait. This has been a hell of a year. I may simply end up saying, "It's over, yay!" and waiting for 2008 to surprise me with wonderfulness.

My 2007(for those of you scoring at home. Even if you're alone.)
-number of times I've made that joke:512.
-Number of times it actually amused somebody:20
Probably the most significant thing I've done this year is get beyond my Luddite tendencies and actually learn to post things in html. It is, perhaps not life-altering, as it gives me another fandom to immerse myself in, but it feels like it's been a really long time since I could track my growth in something, so that was a great feeling. Also, they can count on me now when something happens so I feel like I've developed some proficiency in the intervening ten months. I've written two widely-praised pop culture essays for my friends down at High Hat, and I'm still working hard to find my place in the non-virtual world.
