All my Xmas issues are being aired elswhere; call by for a break from BDBX.

Seriously though, best is cooking the big dinner with Hazel and enjoying the preparation, eating and putting washing up in dishwasher after!

Both have bdays, xmas and hanukkah all in one month. Either you make out or get screwed in the presents department

the ice and snow makes me appreciate the warmth inside
decorative lights and some smiles on people's faces are good.
old memories brought back by songs
all the best wishes for you and yours

Twelve VISA statements
Eleven burned-out tree lights
Ten pounds of junk mail
Nine stops at Target
Eight rolls of gift-wrap
Seven nine-volt batteries
Six minor injuries
FIVE EX-TRA POOOOOUUUUUNDS!
Four incessant phones
Three hours of sleep
Two exhausted kids
And a cat knocking over my tree!

i can't beat (or even match) indy's adorable comment, so i'll just make my little list:

hanukkah

my birthday

wrapping presents for the little kids that live near me and for another couple of kids

i already paid the property taxes for the renewal of the car tags

going to the ballet (nutcracker) on friday with my sister and her boyfriend's 5-year-old daughter (one of the couple of kids noted above)

The end of the semester!!!!

Indy, I'm sure all parents want to know how you managed to exhaust your kids.

So they can do it themselves.

Hot weather and seafood lunches
My eldest son's birthday
His father's birthday
My brother's birthday
My ex-husband's birthday
My parent's wedding anniversary
Gifts from my patients that inevitably include crotched coathangers, embroidered handkerchiefs, lavender sachets
Lots of young gay men who don't see their own families turning up to our "orphans" xmas party
Memories of my last xmas with Stephen
