Christmastime Is Here

In case you missed my overly descriptive Facebook posts (sorry!), I had a run in with the stomach flu for the first time since I was like two years old. It was awful. I thought I was going to die. I hate nothing more than throwing up, and that's exactly what I did for two days straight.

I think the thing I hate the most about being sick is how disruptive it is. I had a lot of stuff planned this week that I didn't get done. I hate that! Fortunately, I seem to be on the upswing now... I'm not craving In-N-Out yet, but solid food stays where it should and I'm just really tired.

In other news, the last of our gifts got here today and is now wrapped under the tree. Hooray! We have quite the collection of presents under there this year!

Our Happy Little Christmas Tree

I had really been looking forward to baking cookies today because that always puts me in the Christmas spirit, but was very gently told by my family that no one else wants the stomach flu and if I did bring cookies, they would be boycotted. So I settled for wrapping presents. It will have to do for this year!

I plan to finish up some work stuff this afternoon, then be fairly lazy until tomorrow. We'll spend Christmas Eve with the Blankenheim clan and Christmas Day with the Smithson/Barcklay clan. It should be a lot of fun!!! Do you guys have any fun and exciting Christmas plans?
