The Santa tree in the Living Room.
The snowman tree in the Family Room.
Today and over the next few days, family members (the perks of a blended family) start trickling in from Chicago and New York, and the house will be full (fourteen total!!) of sons and daughters and husbands and boyfriends, and grandkids bouncing off the wall, staring at and tinkering with all the Christmas Hallmark motion and magic ornaments I have collected for twenty three years (yes, that is another conversation, and the reason why I have two trees), and everyone salivating on all the wrapped gifts under the tree.
For sure I will be busy entertaining, watching Disney and Harry Potter movies, playing board games, (Ticket to Ride and Dominion are my favorites), reading children's stories and cooking three meals a day, especially the grandkid's favorite ebelskievers for breakfast.

And in between this happy chaos is the fact that I am also working some hours and work is very busy during this season of merriment. Which is why the hiatus. But I will be back in no time, I am sure too soon for all of us, ready for the new year.
Happy holidays to everyone!
