There is always too much to do, this time of year. Christmas is just toooooo close to Thanksgiving. Let's combine the two, Christgiving!!! I like it, serve delicious Turkey and fixings and put up the tree. WAIT, that's what we do now, there is no hope.
Right now, I'm up to my elbows in addressing Christmas cards.
Each year I begin to think about Christmas cards in August. What will my letter say? What tid-bit of knowledge do I need to share? What cute photo of my "grown" children will I send? How do I trick them into taking another Christmas photo??
This year they had a mini fit, I almost had to call a priest to cast out the demons in these babes of mine. Its a photo, for Christs sake. (Sorry priest!) "Mom we are too old!" cried my children. " Bah-Humbug, and stop twisting your neck around!!!" ( still possessed??) said I. So we decided to have a "healthy dialogue" which I believe is an oxymoron. Needless to say, the animals are on the card this year. They are ,after all, our sheep in the manger.Loving us up, with no fit in sight. ( I did sneak in a pic of the angels) You didn't think I would let the kids TOTALLY win, did you???
So the cards are all laid out, stamps, labels, printed card, photo of Hart and Emma, lists from last year, colored sharpies, three address books and no partridge in the pear tree!!! I have addressed about forty and have about fifty left to go, these cards are killing me. Crank up the carols, I need some Christmas spirit, or there is no telling How I may sign the remaining cards!! Oh Holy S--t.....I mean Night!!!!
