Look Ma! Front page! ----->
And apologies for those that tune in for knitting. We will return to our regular knitting programming next week once gifties are revealed.
Holiday goodness? Cookies will be my downfall with the weight watchers. A little holiday binge will do some good, right? I've also had that dang "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas" stuck in my head for what is starting to seem like all of eternity. It alternates with Spike Jones' "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth", so at least I have some variety. What is wrong with me? I suppose it beats some Mariah Carey schlock stuck in my brain.
Secret Christmas knitting is going well, but the heat is on to get all the projects done in the next week. Socks, mitts, sock monkeys, pajamas (sewn, not knit), and more candy canes. I've noticed a growing lack of patience with the amount of time required to complete knit items other than ornaments. They're pretty quick so when I have to work for more than an hour on a foot of a sock, I'm starting to get cranky. Knitterly brat, I am.
There's no tree, yet, in our house. No lights. A door swag sits on the porch waiting to be hung. The Christmas mojo just hasn't hit and that's really really really odd for Lambert Drive. Not even any baking. It seems there's a lot of folks in similar modes this year and it kinda bums me out. But evidently not enough to actually DO something about it.
It snowed - finally! That's helping the mood, but it's still lacking. What grinch-of-apathy bit my behind this year? Hmmm. Maybe a good stiff egg nog will help the outlook. It certainly can't hurt a snowy Saturday afternoon.
Despite the lack of Christmas motivation, I hope the end of this year is ending well for everyone and your needles are happily clicking away. I'm off to find some nog. And brandy. Brandy first. :)
Cheers!
Amy
