Christmas Spirit

Working in retail, you often have to get into the Christmas spirit a littler earlier (like July) than most other people who have normal jobs and work at banks and law offices and hospitals. This usually leads to a deep depression come December because you are way Christmas-ed out.

BUT NOT THIS YEAR! Christmas Spirit Comin' At Ya . . .

You probably can't tell from the picture, but all of these presents have Joe's name on them. . . I'm hoping a few show up for me!

Joe's stocking is also the only one that has any stocking stuffers in it too :( Rowdy, Batman and I have high expectations that some good stuff is headed our way!

Here's a sad story for you: There was a package of Cheryl's on our doorstep Tuesday night. I got SUPER excited (because I love Cheryl's, and who doesn't love getting unexpected packages) but upon further investigation, we found out that the Cheryl's were for the previous owner of our house.  So then the dilemma arose, what should we do with them? Can you return perishable items? Should we keep (finders keepers after all)? After much deliberation and input from our community group, we ended up giving them to a neighbor who is still in contact with the previous owner. Now I am back to having no Cheryl's :(

Christmas Sweaters!

This picture of our tree makes me feel crazy

Merry Christmas!
