5 Days.

I'm preparing myself for Christmas, and it feels really nice. I've decided to wear what I wore to the Van Camp wedding, my white shirt and red tie - only I don't know if I'm going to tuck it in. We'll see. That'll be my Christmas Eve outfit, seeing as how Eve always seems to be a more formal affair than the next morning.  I've also decided that this year I am going to bring something to Christmas Eve. I've chosen Hot Buttered Rum. We're all adults now. The youngest, Emily, is 17 years old. I think we're all at an age where we can begin to be more adult. I mean, last year, we spent Christmas Eve talking about how pot should be legalized. If my white-collar, straight-laced family can have that discussion, they need to learn to drink more than wine or an occasional beer. I'm happy to prepare the lesson plan.
I still need to wrap the gifts that I have purchased, but I suppose I can do that over the weekend.
