Wishing Everyone the Best!

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukah or just being you, I hope you have a wonderful day—although come to think of it, Hanukah ended a couple of days ago so I missed the boat there!
Right now Emma and David are watching Scary Movie 4 and eating popcorn. Judging by the laughter coming from upstairs, they’re enjoying it. Still, I’m hoping they fade soon because I’m waiting to play Santa Claus, and I don’t like to do it until everyone has gone to bed. But I’ve already eaten Santa’s snack. (What the heck!)
This is the best shape I’ve ever been in for Christmas. The house is clean and tidy and decorated. The presents are all wrapped. The cards are displayed in the special holder Dad bought me a couple of years ago (this one was made by my friend Lynne Sadlier). I cooked k. d. lang’s vegetarian chili for dinner tonight, which I personally loath but the rest of my family loves…and I even have brunch planned!
The only thing I didn’t get done was to give Lily a bath. Naturally the poor dog is devastated that she won’t be looking fabulous on Christmas morning—but wait until you see your new blanket, baby!
