Holiday Hustle

Whoa, boy, it is busy around here. We have guests coming in tomorrow night, leaving Monday. Then Wednesday and Thursday we have family coming into town. This holiday season is unique on many levels. It's our first Christmas as a married couple, we are traveling to Florida with a number of our relatives, and it is mom's first time back to the states since moving overseas. That last item makes this holiday a personal challenge. We are living in Mom's house while she is away. I don't want to buck any family holiday trends. Still, we'd want to put a personal touch on the decorating; illustrating that we care while respecting past holiday's hosted by mom. This probably seems like a finer line to walk for the wife; however since it's my family I'm confident they will be happy with what we've done. If they don't, then I say get the hell out of my house! Ha!

This mad dash to clean - along with the rest of the holiday requirements - has left little time for anything else. 'Else' includes updating this blog with meaningful posts, rather than cliched topics like 'I'm busy' and 'Work is hard'. Lame!
