Hope the holidays are over soon. Christmas carols make my eardrums bleed.

I went to the Red Cross today to donate, but was deferred for iron that was one point too low. That happens about every other time I go. It's this damn endometriosis that causes me to lose too much blood. I'll take some iron supplements and try again in a week. I saw willco's SIL working there.

I finished up some Christmas shopping today and got gifts made for my MIL and SIL. I made homemade hot cocoa mix and put it in hand- decorated glass jars. (We were all supposed to make gifts this year) My Mom and Dad came over and brought Yule gifts for the boys. Tonight we took the boys and a friend out looking at Christmas lights at Spunky Creek, a tragically overdecorated housing addition in Catoosa. Tomorrow we're going shopping for stuff for Christmas dinner. All very wholesome, no?

Spunky Creek, Does that sound nasty to you?

It was terrifying, as always. But the people with the teddy bear ferris wheel and the bicycling snowman and other assorted mechanical holiday horrors appear to have moved. And a frightened suburb rejoices...

We've got a neighborhood here which re-christens itself Candy Cane Lane every year around this time. Candy Cane Lane is actually a cul-de-sac in which the annoyingly competitive residents vie for the title of most jolly every year by crowding their tiny lawns with the flotsam and jetsam of holidays past. Its like Norman Rockwell threw up on Liberace. They made snow out of plywood last year!

Bah humbug!
