Can you believe that we don’t even have our Christmas tree up yet? Why? Well, my wife decided that she wanted to paint tthe dining room (where the tree goes) before we put it up so I’ve been helping her paint all weekend long. If not for the painting, this post would have gone up (Read more…)

More Christmas songs, yippee! Local meteorologists are predicting at least a few inches of snow to fall overnight so I’ve (tentatively) made plans to take my girls sledding if the weather cooperates.

12 Days of Christmas MP3′s: Day 10 (even more indie songs)
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, ten lords a-leaping… and a whole bunch of Christmas MP3′s.
