What is your favorite thing about this time of year?

[Margo]

I noticed no one has called dibs on the beaters from cheekychook's mixer... DIBS!

Can't believe my cookies are causing such a stir. (ha)

:)

[Down the well]

Yeah, you really bowled people over, Cheekychook. (ha)

But you know what this means, right? You're in charge of refreshments for the forum Holiday Party. (haha)

[Margo]

I love being in charge of refreshments. Takes care of my control issues and my obsession with food all at once. ;)

So I'm pulling Christmas decorations outta the attic and I get a visit from the ghost of Christmas Past.



I started as a special ed "life skills" teacher. We started a cottage industry and made these one year and sold them for $20 a pop. The class of 20 cleared $1000 profit so each kid got $50.

Awh, that is awesome!

I just thought I'd share, sice I brought up A Christmas Story earlier, one of our students at school saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be a good idea to "triple dog dare" a girl to stick her tongue to the flag poll.

It was in the 20's. Yeah....lol

Here is another thing I love about this time of year: naughty cats who climb Christmas trees and yet are so freaking adorable I can do nothing but grab my camera phone and start snapping pictures while she curls up on the branches and preens.

My snowy cat, Lola -

Sommer, that's adorable! She really lounges in the tree? Too funny.

I do my best to keep my cats out of the Christmas tree...but the temptation is sometimes just a little too much. This is Twerp (and trust me, she earned that namesake!) I haven't caught her IN the tree yet, but this was right before I had to pull her out.

[Claudie]

M'hahaha, your cats are so cute.

Last year mine wouldn't go anywhere near the Christmas tree. He went all around the sofas to avoid it. He's terrified of tinsel, and I think he doesn't like Christmas. Must be because he's black. He's a Halloween cat only. ;)

Now he sometimes drinks from the tree's water, but still won't approach it much. It's hilarious.
