Do I HAVE to answer that????? Huh???? Really?????????????

Actually, he seems fine. Sorta testy, but then living with me can't be all that easy.

And the poor Christmas tree is probably going to come down tomorrow, too. I HATE that. I LOVE getting the house back in order, but hate taking down the tree.

Our family tradition is to leave the tree up until Epiphany, the Feast of the Magi, when the Wisemen came. That's the Twelfth Day of Christmas, which is Monday this year.

It's a great excuse for procrastinating, but it also means you can't forget to water the tree every day if you don't want the house to burn down.
