#130 Countdown to Christmas

December 1 — It snowed today; first flakes of the season. Everything is blanketed in white and the whole world is magical. Even the simple act of shoveling brought a smile to my face and reminded me that Christmas is just around the corner. I think a quiet dinner party with friends would be just the thing. Must remember to talk to my wife about that.

Should probably also get her going on the shopping and whatnot. After all, it is Christmas.

December 5 — Iâm looking forward to the party even if my wife is less than enthusiastic. When I mentioned it to her she started to interrogate me about petty details like how many people I planned to invite and when I intended to hold this “little soiree”. Scrooge! I told her she needed to lighten up, Christmas is to be savored and experienced and not rushed through like a hundred-yard marathon!

I still need to talk to her about the cards and stuff, but today didn’t seem like the right time.
