Hmm.

I seem to be a bit behind on Christmas stuff and holiday cards. The late Thanksgiving and now a full-blown cold do not help, nor the fact that we have to prepare a puppy-free zone for the tree. At least I don't have to shop for my extended family this year; my sister decided the economy didn't permit such things. I'm not clear on why she'd conclude that, since her husband is a mailman and thus has job security, but I'm happy to do less shopping and wrapping.
