As you can see, "we've" been busy getting prepared for Christmas. First, the Christmas-update letter had to be written. Then cards located and a mailing list created (by consolidating several from past years and adding new people). Finally, finding a space to complete the mailing is critical. I have found that using the coffee table in the living room does not work, but clearly neither does using the kitchen counter (thank you, Black Beauty!).
Today (with a little luck) I will finalize the minimal gift locating. I hope to head out soon (after addressing a couple more cards - if I can avoid having my pen bumped by helpful kitties - see above). The temperature, unfortuantely, is more Christmas-like today (rather than the nearly 50 degrees we enjoyed yesterday, we will be lucky to see the upper 20s today).
Not all in the household feel impelled by the frenzy around them. Note that BK has decided to "rest up" from all the activity (actually, he has decided to head out for a little "fresh air" at the momen). He discovered the "tree skirt" under Audrey and has made it his current "home." Interesting - Bandit used to use this very skirt.
