'Tis the Season...
...for letting a cup of tea steep for more than an hour before remembering that you made it...and then doing it again a second time.
...for putting the lights on the Christmas tree with "help" from a 4-year-old who follows you on 15 to 20 circuits around the tree as if clinging to your tail.
...for brilliantly buying your mother-in-law a wine bottle evacuator...the exact same gift you bought her last year.
...for a firefighter-like drill to throw on coats and boots before dashing out the door to see Santa (who is actually an off-duty firefighter himself) go past your house on a flatbed trailer, complete with holiday tunes and eight pressboard reindeer.
...for discovering the day before you plan to bake six dozen cookies to exchange with friends that your oven element has given up the ghost.
...for an industrial-size tub of Hershey's Cocoa Powder going up in a giant sandstorm-like poof when you drop it on your kitchen floor while baking.
(That last one happened to a friend of mine...the rest are ALL me.)
