Santa needs a raincoat

I can’t believe that it’s nearly 60 degrees out and we’re having a bad thunderstorm right now…it’s practically the end of December for heavens sake! It should be snowing or something! Damn that Global Warming that Al Gore keeps carrying on about. It’s really been screwing everything up. So, while the wind continues to howl outside (and hopefully not take off our roof) I will attempt to continue blogging…

As it is right now, I can’t wait for Christmas. I’m ready for it to be over and done with for this year. I’m not trying to seem like a total Grinch, but I’m getting tired of having all things Christmas thrown in my face every time I turn around. If it’s not television commercials advertising anything and everything under the sun as “the perfect gift for anyone!”, then the same Christmas madness is going on at ANY public place you dare to step foot into. The only thing I’m looking forward to on Christmas is seeing my little boy’s eyes light up on Christmas morning as he tears into his presents, and to sit down as a family and enjoy breakfast together. I’m totally over everything else already.

Also, I have FOUR DAYS IN A ROW off from work, how suh-weet is that? I’ll definitely be catching up on some much needed rest. Last year around Christmas, we made the mistake of trying to get out and visit every single relative of ours in one weekend. Needless to say, it was a horrible idea - by the end of it, all of us were tired and cranky…not how I wanted to spend the holidays. So, this year will be different. We’ve tried to make plans in advance in order to prevent situations like that from happening this year. Keeping it simple and stress-free…that’s how I roll. :D
