Does this suit make me look fat?
Christmas Eve, and the little ones are asleep. We just enjoyed a fun but hectic dinner over at Maureen and Nelson's around the corner, and now it's time to play a bit of Santa. The cookies, milk and carrots are set out for St. Nick and his steeds, the stockings are ready to be stuffed, the pile of presents obscenely spills out from under the tree. Let's hope Ella's sensitive brain doesn't overload tomorrow!
The neighborhood is still humming as cars and pedestrians hit Alameda's Holiday Lane, around the corner from us. We have a few tasteful lights up, but nothing like the pink flamingoes and inflatable Xmas favorites lined up along Thompson Ave. We just get the spillover traffic, which is plenty.
One present opened per person, as tradition dictates. A random service found for the traditional "Silent Night" with open flames -- now that's Christmas to me. And Hanukkah starts tomorrow too -- let's not forget that!
Away with me. Bailey's pig ear ain't getting into that stocking by itself! Happy and enjoyable and peaceful and safe holidays to all.
