Last night as I was bouncing up and down because I only have one more pair of Pjs to wear before Christmas (note the lovely pair I was wearing at the time), my loving husband looked at me askew and asked, “Is that how you are counting down to Christmas – with pajamas?”

Why, yes, as a matter of fact I am!  And honestly, is there a better way to count down to Christmas than a fuzzy new pair of PJs every night for a week?  Really, I think this may need to be a new family tradition.  PJ Advent.

Ooooo…. We’d need a really big calander to stash the pair of PJs in.  What are the chances this will catch on, you think?

I love Christmas. 

Ok, I know I’m being contradictory.  But now that all the shopping and rushing around is done and all there is to do but watch Christmas movies and open gifts – I can’t wait!  I love opening gifts.  I love getting gifts and I love giving gifts.  I can hardly contain myself!

Tonight, I pick my sister up from work and she and The Master will decorate the Christmas tree (they love that).  We’ll have hot chocolate (and probably popcorn) and watch A Christmas Carol (the old version with Alastair Sim) – that’s a Wakizashi family tradition.  This year Wakizashi is dying to give me a gift early so everyone will get to open one tonight.  Then it’s off to bed and CHRISTMAS!

What sucks is that I have to make it all the way through the day just to get to tonight. 

Just one more sleep till Christmas.  (I much prefer the Muppet Christmas Carol myself…)
