Yes, I said it. The holiday season just raced by and I wasn’t ready for it to leave. I am still not. It is not about the gifts or the shopping. It is the lights and special treats. We finally took down the outside lights this weekend, but that is just because the weather is suppose to really turn bad this week. Until they came down, they were lit each night. I liked pulling up in front of the house each nigh after work (in the dark, BTW) and seeing the lights on. The inside decorations are still up, and we are still enjoying to sparkle of the tree. When the grandson comes over the first thing he does is ‘click’ to turn them on, if they happen not to be on. The season is just too short. I promise to have the tree down by Valentine’s day. 🙂

Santa and the 2 year old Thursday, Dec 17 2009

I had high hopes that we’d get his picture with Santa this year, but alas, it was a no go. My 2 year old grandson ( I call him Little Man) watched as the other kids sat on Santa’s lap and flashes of the camera went off. After a cookie or two, we finally worked our way close enough to Santa’s bench that I thought I could coax him, but then he turned into water with no bucket and slid to the floor. At least he didn’t cry. He wanted to, but he didn’t.
But don’t despair, dear reader, we have a Santa picture this year. Santa, Granny and Little Man are all in the picture, with Little Man on Granny’s lap. I have one almost like it for his father, except in that picture it is easy to see that the child has been crying and I am much, much younger.
Oh well. Maybe next year.
