[Bit]

I'm in the middle of cards--got two lists done, started a third, am waiting for addresses on the fourth. I hoarded stamps all year, bought extra whenever I could, to get enough for this holiday season.

I bought a few Yule decorations this year at the dollar stores. Found metal--lots of jingle bells, especially--because even plastic is not safe from the "Jaws of Death" that is a year-old lab.

Now I just need the energy oomph to get the tree up, and the outside lights as well.
