the "christmas spirit" is finally kicking in for the smockmaison i think. we put the tree up today and i finally finished wrapping gifts. the excitement is in the air as the children are starting to get ready for midnight mass. of course, according to gabby, you know it's almost Christmas cuz that's when the baby jesus is finally put in his crib.

Merry Christmas to you, too, Micki. And that other gal, Terry, I believe.
...and you, sir.
