okay... I have decided that the universe - is cruel. I know - its no surprise - I realize that Diet Vanilla Coke with Raspberry was all the proof any of us needed. However....

It is no secret that I love Christmas. I love the lights. I love the decorations. I love shopping. I love carols. I love Christmas cookies. (well, that's a big duh right?) so I turn to David last night - as we're romantically walking home from theater and I said - "How do you usually spend the holidays?" - and his answer completely seriously is "I usually spend Christmas at work, I always find it a great day to get caught up on work without interruptions. oh and I forgot to tell you - I rsvp'd no for the big holiday party at work - because it's a giant waste of time." (record screech. halt.) Okay universe! Lets review? You finally introduce me to a man I'm probably going to be with for the long haul - and you make him a Jew that thinks Christmas Day is a great day to get extra work done at the office? Thats some sense of humor there Universe - thanks a lot.

It always could be worse

I'm the nominal protestant in this house. With my family Xmas is always food/gatherings/not so much on decorations or stress (with just enough alcohol to make the stress manageable). The tree goes up on Dec 15 and down before Twelfth-night. I have most of the 5th generation ornaments, but beyond that the holidays aren't a production.
My husband of almost 30 years is ALREADY screaming to put up the tree, decorate the house, get lights up, and on/on. Who would have expected that from a guy born and raised as an Orthodox Jew? His sisters are as bad. One demands an appearance at her house every other year. All the fun stress that I missed growing up has been adopted, adapted, and perfected by these three. I keep trying to convince him that I qualify as Jewish by injection and should get 7 nice and pricey gifts if he gets to run amok with Christmas. :D
