By the time Christmas Eve rolls around, I'm always really, really ready to wind down all the activity and prep and just enjoy the day.  We'll be spending the next few days with family - eating and drinking and opening presents and more eating - and I'm looking forward to all of it.  The one thing I'm not looking forward to is the end of that special time of year when I can safely say "Knock that off, do you think that you're making Santa proud right now?  Don't forget, he can see everything you're doing."


Pretending to sleep in heavenly peace while visions of sugarplums dance in their heads.

Merry Christmas.  I hope you and your family have a safe and fun holiday and that you're not hungry for one single minutes.  Pass the cookies and ho ho ho.
