Here We Go Christmas!

Today, despite all three of us having hacking coughs, running noses and a general lack of energy, we've been getting our Christmas on in earnest. Last year, baby in belly, I hung each tree ornament thinking this time next year I'll have a little helper, eyes all aglow at his first Christmas. What could be more magical and special? I'm sad to report that Cal's interest in the tree is minimal. Twinkly lights, glitter stars and baubles that splinter into a million shards when you drop them were all received with muted interest.

Dad's pile of bills though.. was like all his Christmases had come at once. Should have known. He got administrator, rather than decorator, genes.
