Christmas is so different this year. and by Christmas is so different this year, i mean i am so different this year.
it's been mild and rainy, not cold and snowy, and yet, i don't mind.
i haven't bought abby a single thing yet and i haven't bought eli a single thing yet and i haven't bought the triplets a single thing yet and the two things that i bought olivia haven't arrived yet and by now they should have. and yet, i don't mind.
i have decided to have ham and beans and cornbread for Christmas dinner and not only do i not mind, i can barely wait.
i have switched over completely from traditional Christmas decorations to modern Christmas decorations. no traditional green in sight. lots of lime and red and turquoise and silver.
i am going to do swiss fondue on Christmas eve.
i'm making cookies. haven't done that in like for. ev. uh.
we are going to have make-your-own sundaes for dessert on Christmas day.
i haven't written my cards yet.
all my CDs got ripped off outa my car and now the only Christmas music i have is online or on the radio.

Christmas.
