It's Christmas Time!

A little a week and a day ago our house looked like this:
















Man, did it feel like Christmas then. But then it all melted, as snow in Louisiana is wont to do and we are back in the 70's and such. And it seems like there's little to no chance of any snow next week in Tennessee. Alas.

The house is decorated to Christmas and it's clean. Well, relatively clean anyway. My plans this weekend are to get finish my Christmas shopping, or get very close to it. Get the house clean, make another batch of Christmas cookies and then takes some pictures of the clean house (and new dishwasher) to post on here.

Then just two more days until we are in the car and on our way North. There's still a good bit to do, but I'm feeling quite relaxed about it all.
