spreading the christmas cheer

We are certainly enjoying a holly jolly Christmas season around here.
Evidently my kids forgot the first line of
Santa Clause is Coming to Town.
Merry Christmas from our happy family to yours.

What-EVER! My kids can one-up yours any day. They. are. so. grumpy!

And pictures? Don't even get me started on the times I actually try, usually I just avoid it altogether. Screw the memories, I choose peace.

I have been threatening to call Santa so much, I wonder if my daughter believes me anymore. If she keeps it up, I'll MAKE her BELIEVE, I tell you.

I used to like Christmas, now I can't wait for it to be over. Even the Christmas tree is IN my WAY! ;)
