The C word

[goodolmike]

Mark and I kicked off the Christmas season last night by watching Miracle on 34th St and setting up the fake tree he bought a decade ago at Toys R Us on December 26th, back when he still worked there.

So yeah, Christmas time. I'm much happier around Christmas time these days, mostly because I don't have much expendable income, so I don't feel obligated to buy everyone lavish gifts. I'm all about enjoying the season and spending time with friends and family this time. And Christmas parties, of course!

I was thinking about that this morning. Apparently a lot of people are in the same boat as me. I haven't heard one bah humbug complaint so far. I like that.

It's such a 180 for me. I used to get so stressed out this time of year.
Merry Christmas back!

(I need a Christmas icon, stat.)
