Almost time for Ho Hos

We're getting ready for the Ho, Ho, Hos...almost. Geek #2 (me) is dealing with finals, Geek #1 is catching up on everything from the fall, and Muffinator is busy being a busy Muffin. But we've got a tree up and will perhaps get house lights up this week.

Mostly we're excited about visiting folks for the holiday break. We can't wait show off Muffin's new skills, but we'll try to leave her penny swallowing trick at home.

Everyone is talking about how much the economy sucks this year, which admittedly does put a damper on fun, festive, giving spirits. But in our case, we're just as broke as last year, so there doesn't seem to be much difference. :-o

And yes, as Geek #1 asks, where is our family bailout? I guess that'll have to come from a Lotto ticket, perhaps, as we seem to have run out of estranged, benevolent rich relatives. So, for now, we'll just have to celebrate the old-fashioned way...with family, love, and cookies!

P.S. What is Muffin doing in that picture? Why putting chocolate covered raisins between her toes, of course! Forget Christmas, food play is more fun!
