Merry Christmas, Clever And Competent Readers!

It's Christmas Day, and just so you're warned…we'll probably be somewhat less posty today.  Mock and I will be spending some quality time with our families, doing what mamas do on Christmas Day – usually playing Mrs. Claus in our respective homes.   Truth be told, I'll be spending most of it in my "pie pants" and eating my weight in things that are very, very bad for me, and then hard-core playing with the new Barbie townhome that my almost-five-year old daughter just got from the fat man.  

Because there are two elevators in that thing now, y'all.  HELLO.

We wish y'all the most love-filled, family-filled, friend-filled, joy-filled, splendiforous Christmas ever.  In the history of ever.  Do what makes you happy.  Love on those who make you smile the most.  And if you have to work today, or if you're far away from those you love or if you're serving our country and you're just plain homesick right now, know that we are thinking of you and sending you love and prayers and a giant, virtual Chick hug.  

I mean that.

Don't forget the reason for the season today.  But if you're not a believer, just try to do something nice for someone today anyway.  It does a heart good.

Merry Christmas to all our clever and competent readers.  We're so very grateful for all of you, today and every day.  Even the ones who wish horrible, unspeakable things for us, because that's fuel for us, baby.  Lots and lots of fuel. 🙂

God bless you and yours.
