Christmas Inspiration

I’ve been spending a few minutes here and there with my Christmas Spreadsheet over the last two weeks or so, but I’m just not feeling the inspiration yet this year. Usually I’ve got a bunch of ideas and it’s a matter of narrowing my ideas down to the right one, but my brain isn’t working quite as well right now I guess!

MetaFilter is doing their annual Quonsarmas (Secret Santa) gift exchange, so I’ve signed up for that. There’s usually a Qbee card exchange too, which is one of the things I most look forward to! It’s great getting a bunch of Christmas cards in the mail, especially from friends in far-away countries. (Other countries have the best stamps!)

We’ll probably pick a local little kid to sponsor again – last year we got a 2 year old who liked Spiderman and racecars and I found the most amazing Spiderman racecar toy ever! I hope he liked it. Wesley did a great job recognizing we were buying it for a little boy who might not get very many presents so I’m hoping he’ll do just as well with the concept this year.

Snow Day

Wesley went on a walk with Ona (his grandma) and Al, and Al kindly pretended to be a dragon so Wesley could chase him with a stick. The mischievous dragonslayer:

Llama

I was listening to a holiday station on Pandora today when a Josh Groban song came on. Wesley took one look at the album cover and asked me, in all seriousness, “Is that guy a llama?”

The background of the photo did sort of make it look like he had llama ears coming out of his hair, if you are far away and squinting, but I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.

Clearly I’ve let him watch The Emperor’s New Groove one too many times!
