Actually, I fear this will always be true:

You know, Christmas doesn’t just happen. You have to force it.

I posted this quote last year, but it still holds true.

You know, Christmas doesn’t just happen. You have to force it.

May I make a drink suggestion? I mean… I had been looking for something like this. My man is a fan of the martini. Well, the fancy girl kinds anyway. And for myself, the standard eggnog and brandy gig is so heavy. So I did a bit of Google magic and came up with the Eggnog Martini. I even like it! It’s dreamy! Like a cloud of eggnog with yummy goodness.. Mmm. Try it!

Eggnog Martini
Ingredients:
1 Oz Eggnog
1 Oz Ameretto
1 Oz Vodka

Directions:
Combine all ingredients and shake well. Dust with freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.

Serves: 1

It took a lot of effort, sweat, booze, and vacuuming but it is now officially holiday at the dp.com household. Phew! So we are thinking of leaving all of it up for an extra week or two. My thought is perhaps a post holiday open house. People can swing in for a cocktail, some twinkling lights, and good company without the stress. What do you think?

Also do stop by the gallery to check out my little holiday section. Pictures!

I do! I think I do!

I have decided to try to put up Christmas here at the house. I have been off all day. The place is pretty clean. I think I am gonna do it. I even called Richard at work to be sure he won’t get mad if I do it when he’s not home. Heh. His exact words were ‘Hell no! You go get yourself all busy with that. Why would I mind?’

So it’s six o’clock now. Let’s see how fast I can do this! Cue music!

UPDATE: Seven o’clock has arrived. We have changed out the fall wreath on the door, placed poinsettias, the tree is standing and all the lights work (phew!), and it is 90 percent fluffed. Still a ways to go! Break time though. Food and such. Mmmm.

UPDATE: Eight o’clock. The tree is close to being done. I am now deciding to add the poinsettia garland or 100 more little red and gold balls. Gah! Still need to vacuum and dig into the other holiday accessories.

So nearly everything is in working order on this holiday skin. It is well built so the tweaking has not been that bad to add back in all the goodies I’ve been using on the main blog skin. Still on the to do list is getting all my other pages that are not represented in the side bar to skin… that one will take some doing. From what I can tell that’s just the photo gallery, tag cloud, contact, about, and the listen page for the podcasts... once I do one the rest are a pice of cake, right? Right? Heheh… Erm. I have no time for this. Plus Richard wants the links page back instead of the links on the side bar. Doable, just a bit of work. But I figure it’s worth it. The holiday trim is traditional. I’ll use it forever!

By the way if you are not experiencing the sexy holiday theme, click here. I promise to update you when we all switch back (Charlie)!!

Remind me to ask Betty to look at the CSS for the extra fields… All on one line is tough with tagging… Plus I’d like to lose the rings…
