Twinkles in the Death Spiral (or Controlling the Holidays)
The most amazing blog ever, Rants from Mommyland, calls the holidays the Halloween to Christmas Death Spiral. I have aspirations of over-controlling the holiday to prevent the death spiral. This approach always seems to backfire, but being the determined soul I am, I continue to persevere with the same approach. I am skidding sideways into the holidays, holding on tight to the sled with my eyes squeezed tight.

On top of that, I even managed to snap some of those sparkly light pics of the treewhile putting off answering the oft=repeated, "What doing, Mommy?" in a quiet moment of serenity (I can pretend, right?). Fun special-effecty pictures. Oh, and I finally managed to rearrange our living room. I'll have to post pics of that after I find a special effect that clears out the piles of folded laundry and various small toys.

twinklerific. Though the last photo perhaps looks as if your tree has taken a death spiral and is laying on the ground. or that someone drunkenly fell into it and knocked it over. Ok, maybe just that it's laying on the ground. I have GOT to try the twinkles.
I prefer to call that arty perspective!
