“Ohhh! Wow, it is so, and everything so Christmas looking now!”
This is what a very excited and disjointed Zephyr squealed when seeing the finished tree after he woke up from his nap. It is so Christmas now. I agree completely.
Who knew that decorating for Christmas would involve so much work on other things that do not seem Christmasy? Today I washed windows. I swept floors. I sorted toys into different bins. I moved furniture. I washed chairs (like got the mashed potatoes off them), I moved art around, I hung up pictures, I rotated the rug, I kept putting a chair outside to give away and Brad kept bringing it back in, I trimmed plants in the yard, I threw away things that I had meant to fix but really seem to be way beyond hope, and I sorted clothes. Funny. These things don’t seem Christmasy, but I had to do them all BECAUSE we went and got a tree today.
Now the house looks all pretty and peaceful. The kids are in bed, and look! St Nicholas arrived a little early. We must have been first on his list of places to stop before tomorrow morning.
Happy St Nicholas’ day. I hope you get an orange in your shoe.

p.s. I keep saying, “Wow, it is so!” to Jason. For some reason this saying is so adorable to me (adorable that Zephyr said it, not that I keep saying it) and I just can’t help myself. Can’t wait to see your super stinkin’ cute kids in a couple weeks! Oh, and you, too!
