"The Most Wonderful time of the Year"

So I embarked on my "blogging career" (and I obviously use that term lightly as it has been 4 months since my first and only post...ok now it sounds like I am at confession) to no avail...alas perhaps during this hectic Christmas (yes you heard me correctly in all of my political incorrectness "Christmas" Season) I can get back on it. As I currently have only one follower I am sure my lapse has not been too big of a heartbreak.

First, know that I literally start listening to Christmas music the day after Halloween as I love this time of year so much! My theory is that if I start that early, perhaps the inevitable post Christmas let down will not be as bad because I will be so sick of "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" that I will gleefully return to regular music without hitting the bottle to hard if ya know what I mean wink wink! Now in keeping with my "disenchanted fairytale" I must say where the hell does the time go once you are the actual person orchestrating the whole "Christmas Miracle" To my, and I am sure, all kids the days could not go more slowly-to me not so much the case...Tree decorated -check, mulled spiced wine consumed -check, cards sent-check, more wine consumed-check, kids party planned-check, more wine consumed-check...hmmm I think I see a pattern here. On the note of the kids party, I am using the Christmas theme and we go to a public school, but guess what?!?!? As is always the case nobody else volunteered to help so I guess that I am left to my own devises thus CHRISTMAS! Lastly, what to say when your 8 year old daughter brings home a Thanksgiving Letter with what she is thankful for. On the list is and I quote "child services" guess I should stop throwing around that threat huh?!?!?...and now obviously it is time for some more mulled spice wine! Norman Rockwell eat your heart out!
