It's the holidays, and Yours Truly gets all mushy about Christmas. Yep, I admit it, I am a Christmas loving sap.
And so, this past weekend, out came the boxes, the ribbons and all that fluff. Yep, I started the Christmas decorating! Much to the dismay of the adult male in my household, who spends all of December crying "BAH humbug!" while simultaneously, and surreptitiously, sneaking really great gifts under the tree.
Though I was waiting for the typical childish glee, I was sadly disappointed. My daughter has reached that stage of teenage ennui that can only be penetrated by things so cool as to elicit the non-committal raised eyebrow and soto voce murmurings of "s'alright." As for the son, well, he bounces off the walls anyway, so what else is new?

I spent most of the daylight hours Saturday putting up exterior Christmas lights, even though I wasn't feeling like it and was very tempted to skip it. But I didn't want to disapoint the kids. When I was done neither said "thanks dad" or "looks good" or even acknowledged their existance. Next year I'm putting a red light bulb in the porch and that's it! Well probably not but they don't have to know that.
