Didn't have to drop the boys off at work, so am all snuggled up in my bed. Schoolwork has been gone over, the clothes are all washed and I don't have to get out until later to buy groceries (a small trip) for the weekend. And tomorrow's good with oldest daughter and I having our yearly Christmas jaunt to a small town to the east of here. Hoping to see a Christmas parade in the bargain.
Figured I'd turn away from the news until the holidays have passed. I've had my fill of the Congress, and since I've written my letters and griped enough (receiving sometimes canned, trite responses), figure with prayer added, I've done my part. Not much else I can do except be anxious, but at Christmas-time, that's a convoluted way to be, don't you think?
So, during the next two weeks, will focus on the Season. Besides, tomorrow night we'll put up our tree and figure out what lights to string outside. Guess that'll suit us just fine without inviting strife into our home, eh?
Oh, and by the way, we rented 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice', the new Nicolas Cage movie and most of us watched it last night, at least the ones who weren't at work. We all enjoyed it so much, from age 8 on up. A real treat---just wanted to add that.
