Merry Christmas!

It's finally here -- Christmas eve.  No point in rushing or worrying anymore, time has run out.  Nothing left to do but relax and bask in the Christmas atmosphere.

It's snowing again, if you can even believe that.  We are withing an inch or so of breaking the snowfall record for the month of December, a record that has stood as long as I have.  Literally -- the record was set the year I was born (which technically, was not a year I actually stood.  But I existed.)

We made some Christmas cookies yesterday that would send anyone into a diabetic attack.

I began my relaxing and reveling by making a few changes to the blog, trying to add a little color and festiveness.  It's like a blank canvas and there are so many awesome things you can do to a blog, I have to change it up once in awhile. It's like rearranging the furniture.  It can make everything seem new and exciting again, and it felt like the right time of year to make things new.

So we're off to revel in Christmas.  Enjoy the snow (as long as it doesn't interfere with travel).  Watch the children open presents.  Take pictures.  Sleep in (yeah, right).  Dream.  Indulge.  Luxuriate.  Savor.
