The chandelier is decorated. Tick.

New mirror inserted. Tick.

Large star in kitchen? Tick.

Christmas tree? Done. Finally got the damn lights to work.

Elves? Here. Every day. When we remember..normally in bed at midnight..

Christmas to do list? Still long – buy presents, wrap presents, hunt holly, find mistletoe, find stockings, clean chimneys, make gingerbread houses, ice cake, plant carrots.  It’s still reading like something the sorcerer would leave for his apprentice except without the hope of any magic.  So what am I going to do today?  I’m going to add a bright pink trim to the side of our kilim stair carpet.

Just because I can.
