To be honest, I don’t want to spend a lot of time here tonight. Basically, I am ready for a break. Not that these haven’t been fun. And therapeutic. But we spent some time tonight baking and decorating sugar cookies for Santa, and it was a good reminder about where my priorities should be.
Although I mostly write these after everyone is in bed, tonight has been a little chaotic. Since nobody has any real responsibilities tomorrow, we’re all up, bouncing off the walls after eating about as many cookies as we decorated, and getting into stuff that we’re into. I’m here typing this, sitting next to my daughter who’s drawing portraits of herself doing gymnastics, and my wife is telling me all about a new Madame Tussaud wax figure of Travis Barker. We each have our interests.
So, this is just a little reminder to take some time to enjoy one of yours. If it’s reading the internet, then great — welcome! But if you get joy from something else in your life, this is the sign you need to go do that instead of this. These posts, and all the other parts of the web, will be here when you get back. Have fun, and let me know what you got into, maybe.
