Timelies all!
Back from grocery shopping, and Mr. S has been put down for a nap. Whether he'll actually sleep is anyone's guess.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

I keep failing at Christmas shopping, only finding things for myself.

A college friend of mine ran into Lin-Manuel Miranda someplace in NYC and posted a picture of Lin hugging his kid on Facebook. It is priceless. (tagged #betterthanmeetingsanta)

Our wings are not tired.
That is awesome, Beverly!

Same. It is not one of my talents at all. What did you find good? The only ideas I have are for my one son. My sisters, brother, other son, and everyone else. No ideas. Need to get on it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should really be reviewing my bought gifts, but instead I am assuming everything is more or less done, although I need something else for my mother.
PS, confidential to -t: the casserole carrier you got me for her last year (?) might be the best gift ever! She uses it all the time.

I think I have my Christmas shopping done, except for my dad. I only got my shit together because I'm flying out tomorrow to visit my family for the holidays.

I've gotten all my shopping done, but I have to wrap everything and get my mom's gift up and running (and figure out her free connectivity so she won't have to).
My gift to one of the pseudo-nephews turned out to be just a receipt for game store credit rather than a gift card or certificate. I'm thinking of getting one of those fake antique book boxes to put it in with enough added weight to make it seem like a real book, and then act all enthusiastic about buying him a book on 18th century cartography that he can learn mapmaking skills from.

That's super clever, Matt, tho my nephew would be into the cartography macguffin.
