I was a little bummed that the second grade had a multicultural potluck instead of a traditional holiday party because I stash stuff for the parties year round, but the kids had fun. In return for sticking around to clean up, I came home with an open bag of tortilla chips, a couple of green chile enchiladas, Irish potato salad and a tray of Hawaiian coconut pudding. I'm gonna eat that coconut stuff until it comes out my ears.
Working in retail has made me love of Christmas dim over the years....but I think that going back to work after 12 weeks off in the hub of the shopping season has really made me rethink the whole holiday structure thing...
I even have to pick out and buy the gifts for his family or everyone would end up with shopping cards to whatever store he would have been standing in at the time he remembered he hadn't bought gifts yet...
my only bright spot is that my kids are happy....and cailin is so excited this year...
