Pre-Christmas Excitement

I spent part of this past weekend preparing for Christmas.  I put up my tree on Saturday, and bought wooden ornaments to paint on Sunday.  I went to Michael’s Arts & Crafts with Dawn, Neil, and Helen.  I had to practice some mad self-restraint while I was there.  There are TONS of beautiful decorations.  I had to keep reminding myself that all of the holiday decorations I buy are only going to be displayed for a month. 

I’m super excited about Christmas this year.  I’ll be spending it with my family, as usual.  We open presents in the late morning / early afternoon, have Christmas lunch, watch the Planet of the Apes Marathon on TV, and listen to Pat Boone’s White Christmas album.  Even though Pat Boone is a total homophobic dipshit douchebag, he sure knew how to croon in the old days.
