Chaos reigns

This is the point in the holiday season when I go a little nuts: The decorations are only partially up . . . the baking hasn't been started . . . the Christmas shopping not only isn't finished, but I'm still thinking about what to get some of the people on my list . . . My brother Al's birthday is December 22, and his son, Kevin's, is December 21 - and I haven't bought presents for them yet! (There ought to be a law banning birthdays in December!) . . . And I haven't even begun addressing the Christmas cards!

This doesn't mean I've been idle, I've done a little of a lot of things, including making final plans for the Christmas Eve dinner . . . In the next few days, I'll post pictures of the components of what I hope will be a welcoming table. Here's a hint: I'm stepping out of my comfort zone . . . Bad hint? O.K. here's another one: Bambi would feel right at home . . .

Here are two sweet Christmas ornaments that remind me of why we do it all . . .

They are worth every second of insanity . . .

Oh, you're going to love every minute of the coming chaos! And lucky you! Taking time off from work. . . it'll be bliss! That's why photography is such fun, too; the documenting of all the "sparkling" moments!

The pressure is on. Do not feel alone but oh what fun.
