Merry Christmas to All...

December 25th, 2005 at 12:41 am

and Happy Holidays to my online friends...I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a happy, healthy, prosperous 2006!

We are settling down for the night. The kids have checked Santa's progress on Norad and see that he's somewhere by the Azurs. (Unfortunately my geography isn't that great, but neither is theirs, so we've convinced them that he's getting pretty close and they need to get to bed!). They're watching the Year Without a Santa Claus right now, we have cookies for Santa in the oven, and I need to go peel a carrot for the reindeer when I'm done. Then it's off to bed for them. I have about 5 more gifts to wrap, then we'll watch Scrooge (a Christmas Eve tradition) before heading to bed ourselves.

Moneywise, I went to the grocery store today to pick up some stuff I need for tomorrow. The grocery stores weren't nearly as nuts as I thought they'd be (perhaps because everyone else was at the mall!). The total was obscene, and it dawned on me that I'm going to be WAY over budget on groceries next month. (We charge them to get the rewards). We've entertained quite a bit this month, which I love, but is really adding up. I'm not going to sweat it, though.

I am looking forward to tomorrow, and the whole next week, reflecting on what a great year it was, how blessed I am to have such a great family and life, and looking forward to what next year will bring. I hope everyone has a great day and an even better 2006!
