Pre-madness
Anyone would think we had two or three small kids in this house. Not so!
Somewhere in there are several books for me: Wodehouse: A Life, by Robert McCrum, 1776, by David McCullough, and The Stratocaster Chronicles, by Tom Wheeler. I kind of hoped for the McCullough book, but I hadn't a clue about the Fender history or the Wodehouse biography. Fun, fun, fun!
Most of the jokes worked, including the ream of paper for the niece who complains she never has enough, and the colored CDs for backup purposes for the same girl. The froggy, ladybug and dragonfly earrings seemed to be a big hit too.
the tree is beautiful, Link. Hope the day was wonderful for you! Merry Christmas!

seems odd to me to see sunny and green outside your windows - sigh! ;-)

That's the time I really love. When all the pretty wrapped up presents are under the tree...waiting to be attacked! Ahhh. It goes so quickly!
