Scrappy, that's so wonderful! I'm thrilled for you.
Have good company, good food, and in general, simply good things, regardless of any religion or lack thereof, OK?
I love Nilly so much. This is the perfect sentiment.

We're having an okay holiday here, except I'm sick and my brother's wife is stuck in Chicago because their dog needed emergency surgery: he ate a beach ball. So now she's home alone and my brother can't even get a flight back to spend the holiday with his wife because the weather's so bad. Poor guy; I feel really bad for him. And her. And their dog.
In better news, we're gonna have a kickass dinner tomorrow.
I was hoping to read some of the Yuletide stories before I went to bed, but it looks like the search functions aren't open on the archive yet. Ah, well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Merry Christmas, for those who celebrate!

I, of course, have woken up extra early, but then I fell asleep around 10 PM. So I might as well start my day anyway....

And...we are done with stockings and presents. 40 minutes start to stop. Mac is thrilled and happily engaged with new toys. I have coffee on.
Happy Day to all.

Merry Christmas! Happy Thursday!
I have to clean the bathroom before people get here. And finish wrapping.

Waiting for the creatures to awake and the chaos to begin. And of course, my parents to arrive. Birthday yesterday was a success and D is now 6 years old! How did that happen??
I've had good bonding time with my brother and SIL, and of course, the boys. I'm making every effort not to bogart them because they do seem to gravitate more toward me than the parents, despite the fact that I'm a whole helluva lot "meaner." (Read: stricter.) I'm just one step behind mom and dad when it comes to acceptable comforting people, especially with T.
Anyway, happy christmas to those that celebrate and happy-everything-else-because-it-is-that-early-for-me-still for everyone else!

Merry Christmassing peoples!
Christmas, or at least the fun opening presents part, doesn't begin here until the afternoon, when everyone assembles from their various houses. My mother just put the turkey on, and soon it will be church. For now, purusal of the Boxing Day sale flyers.

mac has barely put down his AWESOME Nintendo DS. I forced him to eat breakfast. and because I was having cat issues with the tree, I am dismantling now. Most ornaments are off and I have cute off the lower branches (cutting the branches off is the easiest way for me to get the tree out).

Noah woke up at 5:30 after sleeping with us in bed. He toddled out to find a delightful array of cardboard building blocks. Then we went to have breakfast and now he is napping. We won't open gifts til later, which is good because I have to wrap one for mom and dad and one for alibelle.
