This year, I don't mind too much that the stores have decorated for the holidays two weeks before Thanksgiving.

I love that KOST has kicked off its holiday music 24/7.

I'm ready to decorate the outside of the house this weekend (hoping Hubby will find time to bring all the Christmas stuff down from the garage eaves!) And I've printed out our Christmas gift list (counting family, friends, the mailman, teachers etc. the list has grown to three pages!) Our family celebrates three new babies this year, with one more due Dec. 8. (What recession?!!!)

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!)
