Christmas Trees



A Charlie Brown tree is maybe all I will soon have...since my friend has me convinced I am allergic to Christmas trees...or at least the mold they produce. I love Christmas trees...LOVE. The smell, the pretty lights, the star on top...LOVE. We even got two trees this year so I could have one in my bedroom to fall asleep to the lights...which of course are off when I wake up to pee at 4am (husband no likey pretty lights in his face all night). I still think it could be my constant cold-bronchitis-sinus infection that's making me sick, but some people just think they know everything.
All in all we're off to a pretty good Christmas season...so far we've done zoo lights, Kriskindlemart, walk down Michigan Avenue at night with cocoa, The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, Advent services, living nativity service complete with Harry being the "star", church ChristmasFest~all wonderful...plus 3 cookie exchange parties, 5 grown-up-drink-champagne-Christmas parties, a gingerbread decorating party...and still a family sing-a-long party to go! Phew. The gifts are all wrapped and hidden or mailed. Tomorrow and next week I have nothing planned except trying to enjoy a few more days of peace and quiet before kids are out of school bugging the shit out of me, oh I mean until I get to spent every blessed hour with my lovely children. Shopping downtown and lunch at RL to not be missed!! Oh and Henry was "scouted" by talent agent~so hopefully that will pay for college!
So aside from being constantly breathless we're having a great season!
