How long has it been since my last post anyway?   Time sure does get away from me very quickly, especially at this time of year.  The last few weekends have been spent getting the house decorated, Christmas shopping, writing Christmas cards, and getting gifts that I was making completed.  Put that on top of the regular stuff that needs to get done; work, laundry, grocery shopping…whew!  This time of year is really hectic!

But I can say that my Christmas shopping is done, my gifts are made, cards are mailed, and I am finished decorating.  So in essence, I am ready for Christmas.  All that is left is the wrapping, grocery shopping, a little cleaning, and some cooking.  I haven’t baked for the holidays in years, but I am thinking that it might be something I will try once again, as soon as I am retired.  Eh!  We’ll see.  We don’t really need the extra cookie calories anyway.  That’s my excuse, and I am sticking to it.  🙂

At work tomorrow, we are having an ugly holiday sweater contest.  My sweater is ready.  I have to admit, my sweater is p-r-e-t-t-y UGLY!  The students get to vote on the ugliest.  I am hoping I win.  We’ll see.  I will post a photo of my ugly sweater after the contest.

Thought I’d better get this card posted before the holiday passes, so here it is.
