Holidazed
Maybe I've been having too many glasses of Bailey's, but boy am I tired!
Tired but happy, despite the flurry of Christmas activities: classroom parties, office parties, Cub Scouts gift exchange, the Monrovia Christmas parade, more parties, ooh! shopping, then Christmas Eve in San Diego and Christmas Day at my in-laws.
The boys made out like bandits: it seems my 6-year-old very sweetly told most relatives what he really wanted for Christmas (namely, games for his DS game and anything Star Wars Clone Wars). My 3-year-old wanted what his brother got.
Hubby got a new pair of chinos and some sweats (yeah, not romantic, but very wifely-practical!)

I DO love the holidays: the chill in the air, the gift-wrapping, getting the tree, bringing all the ornaments out and hunting for the lights, the radio station's month-long of Christmas carols, seeing old friends and old family.
Of course, my house is messier (at least I have the rolls of wrapping paper and bags of tissue back in the hallway closet!), and the piles of ironing has become a mountain I try to ignore on the bed, but we're all together at home these days, with Hubby's company shut down until Jan. 5 and the kids out of school.
We're planning a trip to the snow tomorrow!
Life is good!
