I waited as long as I possibly could (specifically, the day before Thanksgiving) to deck the condo. We are waiting until next weekend to pick up our Christmas tree, so I suppose I have practiced some restraint. I capitalized on my half day Wednesday and dug…

Today: ‘Twas the night after Christmas.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]…when all through the condo, not a creature was stirring. Not even Rajon Rondo. Because he doesn’t live here. Never bothers to visit (rude). Nick, Clark and I enjoyed an absolutely lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, traveling a bit north and a…

Today: Times, they are a-changin’.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the first time since 1982, I will not be waking up at my parents’ house on Christmas morning. I will not be making a holy racket at 5:45 AM in an attempt to wake my three siblings a bit early. I won’t…

Today: Jingle all the way.

Today: Waiting for Santa.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Shhhhhhh. He won’t come unless you’re asleep, fools. Like, really-really-really asleep. Welp. So much for the no dogs on the leather couch policy. Also On Tap for Today: Clark’s meeting Santa tonight. Yes, really. Shaq conducts the Boston Pops, and makes…

Today: One bad ass white wrapper.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I usually don’t care much for secular Christmas music. Stupid Dominick the Donkey, in particular, makes me want to poke my eardrums out with a miniature candy cane. I make an exception, however, for two very special jams: Feliz Navidad and Christmas…
