Dude, I’m done. Yes, I am. I was done with all my chores by noon today. It’s only the 23rd and I’m done. Woot! I win! 

I win mostly, because I’ve stopped doing a whole lotta stuff like cards and cookies and gifts to the old aunties.

I do regret quitting the card thing a bit. I have a binder with sixteen years of Christmas cards, holiday notes, notes to Santa, and my shopping lists.  I always imagined presenting it to the boys for some big milestone event in the future, and they would get all misty with fond memories of the past and treasure their mother a little more. Yeah, sure. All the same, I would have liked to keep it going for another year or two, but I enjoy sanity.

Tomorrow, we’ll have sixteen people over for the feast of the little fishes. I’m going to try Cioppino for the first time.

Ian was just awesome in his Christmas concert. So proud.

Alright, I’m signing off for a couple of days. I’m feeling really bloggy, so I’m going to breathe more life into Apt. 11D after Christmas.

Enjoy your food, family, and rest from work. Thanks, all, for reading and commenting.
