Last night I made a vow to myself that I would stay in my p.j.'s all day and I wouldn't leave the house today. I guess I did end up stepping out the front door, but that was just to put a Merry Christmas sign up and toss a snowman out onto the little table by the front door.

I almost didn't decorate at all (well, except for the tree), but having a nine-year-old still at home who still gets excited for holidays is good for me. Especially this year. The snowman shrine and the santas are still in their boxes and it does not appear that Christmas threw up in my living room, but I have angels on the mantel (I might leave them up all next year), nutcrackers on the piano and the mostly hands-on nativities gathered around the coffee table. It made me feel good to be able to do that.

I may have taken three naps today, too. Which was good. I am spent and exhausted. It's a good thing tomorrow is a day of rest (we'll see about that).
