The Half Finshed Christmas...
'Twas the night before Christmas and...
...holy crap is it really 2:15?
I don't know how Dodgeball (www.lafarine.com) does it.
I must have spent 12 hours baking today. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread and Muffins, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Rum Balls, Pumpkin Roll Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Banana Creme Pie, I just finished the PeanutButter Blossoms with a little help from Rachel. I didn't get to my Triple Chocoloate Disaster Cookies, and I may not.
I'm spent. Ready for bed.
This is the half finished Christmas. OK, the front of the house is done. Except we wanted something different for the peak. But whatever, it's done. But Jake and I did that right after Thanksgiving. Everything else?
Well, the house is decorated upstairs, but we never quite finished, so the boxes are still out instead of in the garage. An we didn't get any decorating done downstairs, so we kept the boxes out. And Christmas started 2 and a half hours ago, but we might have people over for NEw Year's so we may finish decorating - so I guess we leave the boxes out? It just feels like we're not done.
I blame it on having to go to Trinidad for a week so close to Christmas. That really kept me from getting a lot of things done, and a lot of Rachel's things depended on me doing my part, so a lot of her stuff slipped, too.
Oh, and the golf cart - never quite got around to hooking up Christmas lights. I got the body off the gas cart and tried hooking up the wires. It worked for a minute, but then smoked. So it goes unfinished. But we still had fun driving around looking at lights the other night.
And like this blog post. There should be lots of pictures of everything I baked. But I can't find the cord for the camera and my laptop doesn't like 2 gig SD cards, and I never got around to updating the drivers and so, this is it. No pictures. No way am I going to wake up Rachel and ask her where the cord is - even though I'm just about certain she knows. So no pictures - a half finished post.
What's funny is that I am stressing out about all of this unfinished stuff, but tomorrow morning is going to be great, and we will spend the day with friends and family, and that will also be great.
Enough is enough. It's never perfect. But it's always perfectly fine.
So I'm off to bed.

Yes, Dear One, it is always perfectly fine. Wishing all of you a decidedly delightful day! (and I'm getting up just shortly after you've gone to bed....)
Brian, Allison, Delenn, Chris, Serra, and Tara will all be here today so we can share the holiday. We'll be thinking of you and sending love and hugs.

Hey Writer, don't worry about the pictures. Don't need 'em. You write; you rock. Merry Christmas.
