There it is, the extent of my holiday decorating.  It is actually more than I can be bothered to do most years.  The tree is twinkily and sparkly, covered in tiny, tiny lights.  Which, really, what more do you need from a tree than lights?

My cards are 3/4ths done (all addressed, 2/3rds written).  I wish I could say the same about my shopping/making of gifts.  I’m not this last minutes, I swear, just this year the whole season crept up on me.  I blame November for being so warm.
