It's been fun to sing Christmas songs to the girls (Kara and Kate) before bed. They often ask for Santa Claus is Coming to Town, so the lyrics are stuck in my head. I do feel like Santa Claus this week, making lists and checking them twice, trying to decide what stays and what can go this holiday season. I'm getting a lot done, but not enough done, but I've decided not to sweat it. If you get our Christmas card on December 28th, I apologize. You see, I'm trying to have a holly jolly Christmas, and so far it's working! I'm also trying to avoid making things like truffles and fudge as long as possible, but the fudge is calling me. It's like a siren song.
How's your holiday planning coming along?

Someone else must have written this, because my sister would never write "Santa Clause" with an "e." Also, what the heck, dieting in December? Enjoy the fudge! And do fill us in on your writing gig. How exciting!
Augh! How shameful. I blame it on kids talking my ear off and the fact that the movie "The Santa Clause" is on TV every day. And Marisa, if I looked like you, I would eat all the fudge I wanted to!
Truffles and fudge... sounds awesome, but holly jolly Christmas sounds even better. What a list you have there, way to go Amy!
You've got it figured out, Amy. Awesome attitude! And I'd love to hear about your writing gig. Have a holly, jolly week!
