Well, our Christmas was very different this year. The new house, not yet completely unpacked, as well as the new baby and all she entails has forced us into a sort of Christmas Light this year.
We used an artificial tree instead of our beloved Fraser Fur. And we only managed to put one ornament on it, "Baby's First Christmas". To top off the anti-climax, we couldn't find the Christmas cookie cutter shapes, so Heather's sugar cookies came in hearts and hippos.
A trip to the mall on Christmas Eve to see Santa fell though as the jolly fat man was overbooked by then.
I guess if we have a new year's resolution this year, it will be to get back into the routine next year, tree-shaped cookies and all.

He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!
It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes, or bags!Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, was singing without any presents at all. He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming, it came. Somehow or other, it came just the same.
It did! Although we all kept waiting for the Grinch to come sledding into town with our stuff.
Thats true, Miss Mary. And Maddie told her Grandma that we had a very tall and beautiful tree! Gotta see it thru the eyes of a child =)
