Today: A placeholder post
…with the promise/threat of a normal regular post as soon. Not only is Christmas four days away, but we are also in the middle of an audit at work and my brain is a bit overwhelmed. So while I get my act together, please enjoy this:
and then judge me for dressing up my dog, and do the same while looking at this:
And if you haven’t left yet, a few more things to enjoy:
- Every day from 5-7 PM, Santa answers calls from area children on WROR, one of Boston’s oldies stations. You can listen live here or on your regular old radio– I promise you won’t be disappointed. Heartwarming and hilarious at the same time.
- Speaking of Santa (which I seem to be doing a lot of as of late), The Boston Globe’s Globe Santa has been helping underprivileged children in the area since 1956, collecting donations exceeding $1 million annually from readers and advertisers to ensure each child enjoys a visit from Santa. If you are still looking for a last minute gift, you might consider making a gift to Globe Santa in honor of a friend or loved one. You can read about families helped by reading stories such as this one.
I’ll be back with what’s On Tap for Today as soon as I figure out… what’s on tap for today. In the meantime, are you enjoying the snow (if you have snow)? What are your go-to last minute gifts?

Your pooch is sooooo cute! I would love to dress up my dog like that, but as soon as I put a shirt on her, she acts like she is paralyzed!

Oh my, the Frenchie is too cute. I am reserving judgement for decking out the dog, as yours truly is equally as guilty. 🙂 I’m definitely going to check out the Santa calls this evening! Good idea! 🙂
Happy holidays! Happy ICLW! 🙂

1. That dog is adorable.
2. I have bassets and I think they would look adorable in that sweater, but I don’t think I could get them to sit still long enough.
3. I sooo miss WROR! It was always great to hear them announce snow day closing.
4. No snow. I’m in Florida and we are not snow-friendly. I do miss it quite a lot though! (Born & raised in Worcester.)
5. Last minute what? Gifts? Who has cash for gifts anymore? =) Nah.. I like chocolates. Giving and getting!
Happy ICLW!

That’s not a REAL dog. I just bought that dog yesterday in the toy section of Walmart for $15.95. I couldn’t resist. He was so cute. But they owe me for the missing suit.

Hahaha. Too funny! I promise Clark is very real. Snack sized and bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Muppets, but very, very real. 🙂
