Festivification!

I've been busy as of late getting ready for that holiday thing that is coming up on December 25th. Besides shopping, baking for a cookie exchange, waiting in line at stores and post offices, I've been (according to my husband) decorating everything that will stand still with something festive! It's all about the festivification!

Something about this time of year reminds me of being a kid and making green and red construction paper chains until my fingers were blistered from the scissors and all possible means (staples, tape, etc.) of fastening the chains together in the house were used up. You then got to drape them over anything that would stand still. Man, my mom sure was a good sport about those sorts of things.

Apparently one's tolerance of the decorating process only goes so far. Yesterday while out and about I picked up a small magnetized snowman and put it on the back of Jeff's Touareg. From the look on his face, I might as well have spelled out "happy holidays" in dog feces on the car's bumper. The magnet now resides on the fridge, where apparently it isn't as offensive.
