Sixteen days until Christmas, and I’m… not ready. But I am getting into the holiday spirit, at least a little.
Hubby has never been slave to watch, clock, or calendar, so some things just happen when they happen. Like birthday presents (purchased well ahead of time, I would note, but left hidden for a couple of extra days for good measure).
But today, the present finally appeared — following some prompting from the children, who wanted cookies, but were put off because my old hand mixer makes noises like it’s about to explode and send shrapnel all over the kitchen. The birthday replacement is a KitchenAid Classic
With extensive help from Gamma (the only person in the house with any talent for decorating), I also got the Christmas tree up. No ornaments yet, but it’s up, it has lights and an angel, and there are a couple of pretty presents beneath.
Delta thinks the presents are fake, BTW. It’s the best bet for ensuring that there is no shaking or sneaky unwrapping.
Wha hoppen to Atomic Tumor blog? I missed the controversy.

Perdita, I tried to respond to the address you gave, but the e-mail bounced.
AT will be back when he’s ready. He’s still posting, but it’s time to take a break from the feedback for a little while.
We put our tree up the day after thanksgiving. Lugnut loves turning the lights on and off.
sorry-hadn’t logged into hotmail in a while. I reactivated my account, so you should be able to contact me there now. I stumbled upon the AT blog during the lead up to the mid-term elections and now stop in every few days to see how they are faring. Was a little worried but am glad all is ok (or as much as can be expected) with AT.
