CHRISTMAS MADNESS!!

IS IT DECEMBER 26TH YET???

Crazy, crazy, crazy. It is so refreshing to be among the free and willing this Christmas. Cards, parties, gifts, WORK, and running. I forgot how much I love it! The whole deal. I was not in a very "festive" mood in the beginning of the month but Mr. Scrooge has left the building!

I have been tormenting my younger co-workers with a new Holiday decoration everyday. There are at this moment, THREE mechanical santas, one christmas tree, two christmas wreaths, and the words HO-HO-HO in our office. This is a first!

I sometimes forget the true meaning of this holiday.

Friends.
Family.

Is there any difference? Not in my life.

Quite a bit has happened in a weeks time.

Dr. Small lost her only link to her mother's side of her family. (My heart and soul are with you! As are everyone else's!)
Uncle Edward got a new car.
Cass and Jaxx had one of THE BEST parties I have ever attended! (See the pics on the side!)
Joe returned home after 2 days of travel, instead of being gone for a week!
Work has been insane! (it is normally slow this time of the year!--watch the news for something HUGE!! It is going to rock Missouri's world!)
I spoke with my REAL family. Headed to Ste. Genevieve this weekend.

All in all, not enough time for everything!!

IT IS FABULOUS!!!

SO.....

In the time honored tradition of last minute Christmas madness I wish everyone who reads this a very Merry and safe and healthy and loving Christmas! See some of you before, see some of you the day of, and see some of you after.....Whenever I see you...know this.

You are loved and blessed to be a part of this worlds light. I am thankful for everyone of you. You all, in your own way, have helped create a new man.

Feliz "Naked" Dudes!
