It’s what, 16 shopping days until Christmas? I haven’t been big on Christmas, not since the heartbreak of my youth…when I had to Secret-santa exchange an Evel Knievel action figure (with the windup charging motorcyle!!) for 2 bags of glass marbles. Then I heard Santa Claus’ jet crashed when he was flying back to the North Pole. I remember crying for Santa. That’s when I found out the whole thing was a sham.

I think we’re the only house in the neighborhood without any decorations. We’ll probably hook something up this weekend…I may sound cynical, but I can’t wait to spoil my kid/s on Christmas! Whenever that may be…
