It's been awhile.  There's been numerious migraines.  A very long fight with a cold, I assume it was a cold.  But you know what happens when you assume.....anyway....Just before Thanksgiving my Grandson starting putting up "his" tree.  So not to be out done...I put up my tree.  Soon after that, my Husband starting putting up the lights. All before we've partaken of my Mother in Law wonderful Turkey Day spread.

I really prefer getting past Thanksgiving before starting with Christmas decorations, though Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year.  Not sure why...the lights or the the colors...the snow(sometimes).  Maybe the combination.

  Now we are almost a week past this day set aside for "Thanks" and the house is all decorated.  The gifts are all paid for and ready for wrapping.  I HATE wrapping.  But I ususally buy everything on line and am to cheap to pay for "the merchant" to wrap them(if they offer it).  Besides, that seems so impersonal.

So here I sit whacking away on my keyboard with a mound of gifts sitting on my bed screaming at me.  I say let them scream for a bit longer.  Well, except for the once that have to be mailed out this weekend.  That reminds me, I still have ornaments to finish...they have to be included in that shippment.

 OK...I'll finish the ornaments and wrap "those" gifts. 

Maybe I'll just put everything else under the tree Christmas eve O'natural.  Maybe not.
