At Last

I don't want to hear about how long it's been. I have decided that failure to post during the holidays is a completely excusable offense. I wish I could say that I've been too busy with all that has been going on since the holiday season began. Unfortunately, it is quite the opposite. I have not posted because there is nothing to post about, hence the "so bored" picture of the boys. Brandon was on call over Thanksgiving weekend. LAME! The good thing about this is that we know he will not be on call for another holiday the rest of the time we are here. But, this year Thanksgiving pretty much blew because we could not go anywhere. We did get out the Christmas decorations, so the house is all festive. And I am loving my Yankee Candle plug ins. They smell so good.

Tomorrow will wrap up the last of four holiday parties that we have been involved in, not to mention the one we skipped. How many parties do we need, people? I'm not anti-party, but come on! I'm one of those people that loves Christmas, but hates it at the same time. If I could just stay home getting high on Christmas aromatics and beautifully wrapping all the carefully selected gifts as they get delivered by mail to my home, I would enjoy the holidays a lot more. It's getting out into the press of humanity and fighting the crowds that I cannot stand. Luckily, this year, I have been doing most of my shopping online due to the fact that I have yet to perfect the English shopping experience.

The highlight of the holidays so far would have to be the Nativity play at Jake's preschool. It was adorable. I especially enjoyed the three king pile up at the manger. I guess that's what you get if you don't keep your eyes to the Savior. I hope all of you will remember the real reason for Christmas and that you thoroughly enjoy your holiday. Merry Christmas! (Because I can't guarantee I'll post again before then.)
