It's Christmas Eve, and to pass the time I've been working on drafting up the challenges for the Winter Prose Competition 2011 on Protagonize. I've got all five challenges thought out now, and I can't wait until February to see the finished results! But first, Christmas.
Still, I'm excited for tomorrow. I might actually be more excited to see the reactions of the 'rents and the sister to their presents than to my own, actually. Weird. Apparently I've matured since I was twelve. That said, I'm stoked on the massive Tim's Card on the way. Seriously people, I asked for nothing but a gift card to Tim Hortons to satiate my massive desire for hocho and baked goods. It's a very expensive need.
And yes, that's a mitten on top of my tree. I sewed it myself, therefore it doesn't work too well as a regular mitten, but is redeemable as a tree mitten. That's also a ceramic chicken near the bottom. I also have a sheep somewhere. It's a quirky tree, okay?

Hey, no worries about the quirky tree... every year our tree has more ornaments per square unit than almost any other tree we've ever seen. Perhaps the only trees that have more ornaments than ours are trees in stores for selling ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI approve of quirky tree :) Mine tends to be a geeky tree (when we have one - didn't this year cuz it died :() I have a tiny Firefly class Serenity ornament that usually takes pride of place.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! And I'm loving the mitten tree topper. It *almost* beats the cardboard penguin tree topper my students made for me. Almost. :D
