Wait. WHAT?

The last Advent book is this??  Was there just a random draw?  Very weird and, yet, interesting. Isn't there something about Christmas in "The Taming of the Shrew?"  Still, if you're trying to provide folks with surprises in an Advent calendar, this has certainly accomplished that goal.

For many years, our Christmas Eve tradition was going to IHOP for dinner, come home and watch "Muppet Christmas Carol, then open one gift each.  We had to stop that when 1) IHOP started closing early, and 2) getting Hannah here --- with her cats --- became too much of a deal.  So now Briton and I find a place that's open and have a daytime meal.  Today, we went to Tacqueria Tsunami, and my red boots drew comments.  They usually do.

Happy Christmas Eve to you all.  May your Christmas Morning dawn bright and happy, and may your floor be covered with ribbons and torn wrapping paper.

Merry Christmas! When we drove past the iHop in NoVa last night on our way home it was hopping. A lot of folks must share your old tradition.

I made some banana bread last night.  Well banana/ blueberry bread, as that's the baby food I had.  Also, shout out to my fellow banana baby food lovers.  (You know who you are!)  I went to bed before it was finished baking, so there was a nice morning "surprise" today. Just dropping in to brag on myself.
