today began my two day love affair with what we refer to at our house as "making christmas". everything is done except the outside, the tree, and tiny town. that all has to get done tomorrow...or maybe tonight the elves will come and finish it for me...
sadly, making christmas was not without some tragedies. mickey and minnie were making out (again this year) on top of our "happy anniversary" ornament and fell off in the process. they are still making out (those little lovebirds, er, lovemice...) and are back on top of things thanks to some heavy duty glue. mr. bunny rabbit baseball player (from jeremy's childhood) also had a little fall...to be more specific, his head fell off of his body. the glue has righted his wrongs as well. perhaps the most awful tragedy is the disappearance of joseph, the father of baby Jesus. the wisemen, the shepherds, mary and baby Jesus...they are all present and accounted for. the angel is here, as are the sheep, the donkey, the camel, and the cow (although he is missing a small chunk from his bottom...maybe joseph got hungry and needed a little rump roast...). i hope i didn't accidentally sell him in the yard sale... if you see my joseph, please send him straight home to bethlehem. tell him to follow the star.
all in all, it has been a very productive day. santa is on the wall. the reindeer are up. the snowmen are all in their positions. my house smells like christmas and memories and cozy and joy. i just need to get the cranberry-pecan bread in the oven and get ready for tomorrow!
have a merry "making christmas" time!
