Holiday Tidings

It's the last day of the year ... I can't have anyone messaging me and saying "you haven't updated your blog since LAST year ...!". And that would happen .. :-)

Christmas has come and gone in a whirlwind. Everything happened so fast this year ! We went to Auntie Betty's this year -- since we're in our new place, we don't have the room like we used to. I never cooked a Christmas Turkey this year ! Maybe that's why It still feels like Christmas is coming ....

Even all the Christmas cartoons were on Early this year. Around the beginning of the month, the classics first -- Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to town, the Grinch etc. No Christmas movies though until Christmas Eve. Go figure.

It was a nice quiet day, with family all around. I helped with the dishes afterwards, cause that's my thing -- I always help Mark do them and then I have to whip him with the wet dishtowel. Call it a Christmas tradition. LOL. Actually that happens on all the holidays .... hehehe.

So now it's the last day of the year. Alot happened this year, I'm not sorry to see it go. Lisa will be 15 on Wednesday, and yesterday she was as big as Lily and Evan !! They say time goes fast when you get older, this year went at lightning speed !! I watch the faces of my kids and see just how fast it goes. My mom will be 78 at the end of January .. and that makes me realize that she won't be around much longer either. But i'm not going THERE until I have to.

Happy New Year one and all .... I can't wait to get started on 2008 !!!
