Christmas Cards
Well, this weekend has turned into quite the Holiday Bacchanalia (and it's not over yet)!
Taking a wee little break this afternoon to spice up my living room - I wound 50 feet of twinkling Christmas lights around a 10 foot long curtain rod. The dense pole of festive sparkles adds a whole new element to my apartment (and you can see it from the street!). Love love love it. I did, however, almost go crazy when I had to find the one burnt out bulb. Out of 450 ... I think it ended up being #439. And no...I'm not kidding.
Ignoring N's mother's excellent advice to cut my losses, forget about sending out Christmas cards (too late) and just send out New Year's Cards - I spent the wee hours of the morning filling out 8 special cards to individuals that would just be crushed if they didn't hear from me (and 10 cards to family members who, card or not, are contractually obligated to 'love me anyway'). It turns out that, much like drunk-dialing, writing Christmas Cards when you are smashed is never as good an idea as it sounds. Although I'm not really sure what I wrote to people, I think I may have 'come out' to a few family members and accidentally sent at least two cards to the same person. Happy Holidays indeed!
Now that I am in the holiday mood, I can actually start my Christmas shopping. And thanks to Addaboy, I can keep track of how many shopping days I have left.
N's Holiday Fete made me so super happy that I've been in a good mood all weekend long. Everyone was jovial, beautiful, and super sweet. Good thing I missed the first half! And what can I say!? N's tree gives mine a run for the money (especially after copying the bondage top technique used to light the top of the tree!) ... I mean, she has candy canes on hers. [sigh].
