windsorblue at 01:40am on 25/12/2013The wreath is hung on the door, but I forgot to change out the orange and purple Halloween lights for the blue and white ones. >.>;;
The tree is up, but one little bit of a light strand doesn't work. I could have spent more time futzing with it, but got distracted by something else and there we are.
The presents are wrapped and the stockings filled, now that I got everyone to go the hell to bed and let Santa mom do her work. Starbuck has found this quite confusing, as there are obviously things in a stocking that are intended for her - none of us two-legs have ever shown an interest in candy-cane shaped rawhides, that's for damn sure - and she can't have them yet. She keeps sniffing hopefully at the stockings, and I keep telling her that Santa says she has to wait until tomorrow. I think my dog thinks Santa is a big meanie.
Next year, I say to myself, I will be one of those people who is done shopping by Thanksgiving. (I will not be one of those people.)
(Since the soccer season is now in full swing, the boy has 2+ hours of practice most days and is typically passed out on the couch before his dinner has even started digesting. Tonight - after me poking him about four times to go sleep in his bed already - he said, "I'm waiting up for Santa," to which the beau replied, "You're not waiting up very well".)
Happy holidays, everyone!! Here's to a wonderful new year full of blessings and awesome organizational skills to us all!
