Twas the Night Before Christmas: 12.24.12

As I wait for Mr. Claus to eat his cookies and deliver his presents, I wanted to peek in on you all this Christmas Eve and send a magical wish for each and every one of you.  I hope your Christmas continues to hold happy memories and happy moments.  I hope you have someone to [...]

2 Days Till Christmas: 12.23.12

That sneaky little elf makes it hard for mommy to uncork that delicious bottle of red with express letters delivered from the North Pole. However, a little extra visitors tonight makes stuffing the stockings so much more fun tomorrow. As Papa Claus and Mommy Claus count the number of batteries in the drawer, I rub [...]

3 Days…it’s a blur: 12.22.12

  All the presents are wrapped.  The stockings hang in anticipation.  Excitement swirls in the air.  I unpack the last few things from the suitcase as we call to an end of another “family weekend away.”  I double check the pantry for not only a complete stock pile of cookie makings, popcorn for popping, but [...]

8…err, 7 Days Till Christmas: 12.17.12

Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo and Peppermint Dildos: I introduced South Park formally to my oldest child the other night.  Lullabies of Christmas Poo echoed through our heads.  We haven’t quite gotten the lyrics right, but we sure are trying. I came across our dear sweet Mr. Hankey while I was pulling boxes from the [...]

11 Days till Christmas: 12.14.12

My heart is heavy today.  I would be amiss if I didn’t acknowledge the horrific tragedies that have happened.  For not recognizing them do not make them disappear.  As a parent, I wept at the realization that some parents would never watch their babies walk down the steps of a school bus or skip excitedly [...]

Sunday’s Shot: 12.9.12

I love sitting cuddled on the couch. In December you would most likely find me watching one of my favorite Christmas movies. I live by the rule: You have to Believe to Receive. And, that’s not just at holiday time either. You have to believe you’ll receive that blow job or piece of pie. You’ll [...]

10 Days Before Christmas

    12.15.11 Wait… is it nine or eight now?   Do you ever wonder how the hell so many days can melt into the other?  The empty tipped liquor bottles tease menacingly in the early morning rays hiding hints of moments slipped by.  But, the computer whirs  with half written thoughts proving that it wasn’t all [...]

Two Weeks Before Christmas: 12.11.11

  Two Weeks Until Christmas: 12.11.11 Sunday I awoke this morning with a vivid recollection of the perfect gift I needed to get everyone. I just had to invent it first.  But, the dream made it look so cool.  I actually giggled a little as I sat on the side of the bed yawning and [...]
