My Christmas - A Mixed Bat

erulissedances: US and Ukrainian Flags (Default)
Monday, December 26th, 2011 04:58 am
Christmas was hectic and a bit stumbly, but it turned out all right in the end. I woke about 8am, even though I wanted to sleep in, and went down to make out certificates for part of my DH’s Christmas gifts. Mine usually consist of admissions to various cultural events or museum exhibits, the ones that he gives to me usually consist of $20 for a DVD or book, the annual “extra day off” and his usual annual Uncrab certificate – highly valued.

Joyous Holiday and No Sleep

I was unable to sleep last night. Perhaps too much Chex Party Mix (wonderful munchy food that DH makes once a year in a HUGE batch, and responsible for at least two pounds of weight gain for the holidays). Perhaps it was the fact that today is Christmas Eve, the last day of my holiday working schedule, or...or...or. Who knows? All I know is that I was awake at 2am, and although I tried to sleep until 3am, I never really managed to accomplish it.

What's Cooking?

Do you have special foods for the holidays or other special occasions that bring memories to the forefront for you? Each family sets their own traditions over time, but food traditions seem to carry through the generations.

Studio Day - Working Hard for Christmas

erulissedances: US and Ukrainian Flags (Default)
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 05:08 am
So today is my day off - my studio day. It's the 7th of December, and I've received the first of my Holiday Cards from people on my f-list (Thanks, Silver Trails!!!). That means that I will be working like crazy on things today. I need to finish this repair because I want to have it available for her to pick up on Friday, and I need to do the interior of my cards and determine what, exactly, I want to do for the exterior. I can do some work on them tomorrow also, because I'm taking a second day off then. But, tomorrow is tomorrow and I'll discuss it then.

Santa Claus Exists...Doesn't He??

Of all the things I love best about Solstice time, I love Santa Claus. He has gotten a bit too tied up with the commercial aspect of the holiday, but who can turn their back on this jolly, immortal being with the infectious laugh and the bright smile? Even though children often freak out when they are finally close to him to tell him their holiday wishes, as an adult, I wish I had that opportunity again. Just to sit on the lap of someone who actually knows everything and has an arm around you buffering you from the world at large, it sounds so wonderful.
