Where's all the hubbub? Where's the tree? Somehow, this year, the Christmas spirit has been slow in coming to this household. Maybe it's because they started advertising Christmas specials before Halloween, and we're already jaded by the hype; maybe it's because the week I would have been preparing for Christmas we were in Malta. Maybe it's because we no longer have children in the house getting fired up about trees, Santa, and toys. In any case, we missed the boat. Now there's only two weeks left, and we still have all our prep to do!
We've started receiving Christmas cards from family and friends, but I haven't even looked at my stash to see if we have enough to send this year, nor have I even started to look for gifts for the family. Um ... does enyone know where I can get a shot of Christmas energy and inspiration?
California enacted burn restrictions effective December 1st. That means we have to check the air quality before using the fireplace or face fines up to $50. Right now, we're having some cold weather, and a fire would be cozy and comforting, but the fireplace is sitting dark and cold smack in the middle of the living room wall.
