It's not really a Hanukkah tree, but I did find the perfect tree and we did put it up last night and it's the first weekend of Hanukkah. It's a 4ft prelit Indiana spruce, totally faux, but it is quite possibly the cutest little Christmas tree ever. I am dragging Sunshine out to Target today because he HAS NO CAFFEINE and we still need a tree topper and a little tree skirt to finish it off. The best part is that the cat is not trying to pounce the tree! I know this has to be a Christmas miracle.
Speaking of Christmas miracles, I got a big fat raise and vacation pay I didn't know I had. Unfortunately I have to be mostly responsible and stick a whole lot of it up my butt because I have a big scary tuition payment and some scary expensive accounting books to buy in January. I have only made one yarn purchase which was a skein of Miss Violet's Pink Ribbon made by Lisa Souza. It looks so beautiful and Liza Souza has the best customer service ever. I give her two hooks up for sure.
On the Christmas shopping front, I am pretty much down to stuff for Chinese gift exchanges at work and stocking stuffers. I bought my sister's final presents Thursday night after my cost accounting final.
If anyone has tricks to getting dried up super glue off your hands let me know. The cat doesn't really bother the tree but she thinks that the Christmas village is her personal toy box so when we magically found the superglue, I was able to repair the broken pile. Props to my mother for showing me the tricks to getting the super glue to bond before it gets too messy. I didn't glue my hands or fingers together so it was a successful project.
Sunshine also made some very fancy hot chocolate that looks like it walked out of the Martha Stewart Holiday issue. It tasted even better than Starbucks.
Happy Holidays!!!!!
