Merry Laundry fa la la

It's December 25th, and I -- as you may have guessed from the post title -- am doing laundry.

Well... what do YOU do for Christmas?




Now, if this is sounding kind of depressing to you, it shouldn't. It's just that Christmas is pretty low-key here, that's all. We've done presents already, there's not too much to do for supper since we rotisserie the turkey (and as I say every time I mention this, rotisseried turkey is sooo much better than just about any other way you can do turkey), there's no small children to entertain, so why not do laundry in the meantime? It has to be done eventually, and it's not like I'm beating it against a rock or anything.

For those of you who are having a more hectic, full-on family Christmas, remember to try to take the time to enjoy the company of the people that you're with. No one's going to care if everything's perfect, and if they do they should probably be looking at adjusting their priorities.

For those of you not celebrating Christmas for whatever reason, have a good Tuesday.

Oh, and today's photo? Obviously not new. There will be new photos coming up, though. Yes, even though I don't like taking pictures of winter. There'll be new photos because someone in this room (and except for the fish, I'm the only one in the room) got royally and unexpectedly spoiled. More on that later. As for the other things under the tree, well, let's just say that I have a couple of very thoughful people in my life, and thank you. Speaking of that, though, I really should take just one quick new photo. Gimme a sec...

Yes, that is a picture of feet.

Somebody out there knows why.





Merry Christmas, everybody.
