Recipe for a fabulous holiday weekend:
- Enough turkey, dressing, and sweet potatoes to require changing into stretchy pants.
- Leftovers. Plenty ‘o’ leftovers.
- Family. Preferably not the Griswald rocket toilet variety. But beggars can’t be choosers.
- Shopping. Shopping is good. Doing so in place of sleep? Eh. Not so much.
- Knocking out the Christmas shopping though? Score.
- Shiny ornaments, scented candles, and mistletoe.
- From-scratch hot chocolate. With gads of whipped cream.
- Not a lick of exercise. In spite of the gads of whipped cream.
- Sleeping in.
- Scrabble.
- Jewel singing Winter Wonderland.
- Brandy-spiked hot apple cider.
- Squeezing five-wide onto the couch to watch UP!
- Writing off Black Friday shopping for next year. And every year thereafter as long as I shall live. Amen.
- Substituting cheesy blog posts for those with real content because I’m too busy cooking up a fabulous holiday weekend.
Am I missing anything?
