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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Merry Christmas!
I think I've established a pattern that to have mind-blowingly good sex, I need to have an extensive dry spell beforehand. Christmas Eve was not celebrated in the usual way, but I'm all for starting a new tradition given how much fun it was.

“Not dead yet!”
I told the kids if they got us up before 8, I was sending their presents back.
They waited until 7:59. I gave 'em a pass for that one.
Scrappy, that is just the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time. Happy Christmas, Thursday, Chanukkah, solstice, holiday of choice, Buffistae.
Y'all rock like rocking things.

Merry Christmas!!!!!
My family called at 7 to make up for the fact that my niece and nephew can't jump on me to wake me up for Christmas as per usual. Also, I had a present with instructions to open first thing--it turned out to be a filled stocking! Sometimes my sister is really just awesome.
Wait, WTF, thunder? I thought that didn't happen here!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Merry Christmas!
I'm on the train to my sister's. I stayed out way too late last night. Am v. tired.

In a good way?
