Making a List Checking it Twice
- Christmas mood? Not so much.
- Holiday Cheer? I really can’t, I’m driving.
- Evergreen smell? On my way to buy some.
- Cookies baked? Why, the dough is so much better raw.
- Snow? Enough to make it into the tops of my boots while I scrape my windshield with a CD cover.
- Christmas Carols? Only if the Wiggles are singing them.
- Presents bought and wrapped? I think I bought enough to make the baby Jesus happy.
- Tree decorated? Ella’s still too little to make the good kind of decorations; I think I have to wait till Kindergarten art class before I can get a God’s eye with a school portrait glued to the middle.
- Holiday cards sent? Quick do something worthy enough to put into the letter.
- Thankful? Every day.

I'll never forget the year that mom let me write the Christmas card letter. It was a list of all of the things that my brother and I failed at or screwed up throughout the year. The anti-brag letter, if you will.
It's so much easier than trying to come up with something worthy to put in the letter.
I just suck all together. This will mark the second year in a row that I have put Christmas cards at the bottom of the list, knowing they would eventually fall off entirely.
In the past, I have been really good at the whole pic of kids and family letter thing. I think its a whole un-inspired thing this year.
By the way, I am utterly hooked on my Jazz for Jennie CD. You rock the free world. We need to put together some other compilation ones. R&B, Soul, Funk, Folk, Classic Country, Show Tunes, etc.
