Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat
There are only three days left until Christmas. We’ve done so much to this house I can’t even describe. Tomorrow the Chimney sweep comes to clean the chimney out and check it to make sure everything is AOK. Then I have to either split some wood or buy some. There is plenty in the backyard. I just need an axe.
We’ve replaced nearly every light fixture and outlet in the house. Almost every wall has been painted. I did a knockdown/orange peel style texture on the dining room and entryway walls. I’ve fixed toilets and walls. I’ve painted and scrubbed. And still I’m not done. The worst is yet to come. Tonight I will clean out the “Junk Room”. This is the corner room in the house that became the catch-all for everything without a place. Most of it is my stuff–so it’s my job. Wee! But it will be a nice spare bedroom when all is done.
I purchased a bunch of liquor today and two more light fixtures. Not a good mix I know. But the liquor is for the family Christmas Eve gathering we’re hosting on Friday. I got some favorites covered for Heather’s uncle Tom and uncle Matt and I’ve got red and white wine for the wine drinkers. Now all I need is to get the beer–and maybe some Tom and Jerry mix.
The football game starts at 2:00 so I’m not sure how that will play into our afternoon plans–but I may have to ask Heather to bump our start time up or we may have some no-shows until after the game.
The dart board is primed.
Tron is a go.
Let’s get this Christmas jumpin’
HO HO HO!
