Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays

Like the title says: Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone.

This has been a strange month. Normally, I'm much more organized about the holidays. I usually have all the Christmas shopping done by late Oct/early Nov and all of it wrapped by Thanksgiving or early Dec--this year, I bought my last present this morning and just finished wrapping it now. My wife still has my presents to wrap. She thinks she'll wrap them tonight while I'm sleeping. Hopefully she and I will get more sleep tonight -- we found out last night the little girl has an ear infection. She did not sleep well. We did not sleep well. Two hours max for all of us. At least my wife is off now until next Monday. I'm not so lucky -- but at least I'm off Christmas day.

As I mentioned in the previous blog post - time flies. I honestly don't know what happened to this month. November I spent every day writing. December--I've been on the computer and online maybe six or seven times. Hopefully, I strike some sort of compromise or balance come 2009. I have begun to read the NaNo book -- so far, it's not quite as crappy as I thought, but it does need loads of work.

Must run now. Need to help my wife get ready for tomorrow. Christmas Eve we spend the day with my extended family celebrating Christmas -- Christmas day we spend with her family. The day after Christmas is the day we usually spend in our pajamas (unless we head out to brave the cold and snow and look for after-Christmas specials). I'm really looking forward to all three days.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very prosperous, safe and Happy New Year!
