Got the tree up, the decorations out and most of the Christmas cards mailed. (There are advantages to not working at the moment) Of course, the disadvantages come at the gift-buying side of the equation. Nathan shared with us what he wrote in his letter to Santa at school. Kid has expensive tastes. He thinks it's a guarantee if he tells Santa. I told him that Santa makes the toys, but Mommy and Daddy still have to give him the money to make them. I have no idea what to get Eric. Usually I've got a pretty good idea, but I got nothing this year. I'm not buying a carburetor or engine for Rufus, which are the only things I can think of that he'd want.
I'll have to take a pic of Nathan with the tree when he gets home from school today. He's so proud of his decorating skills. We put up the ornaments that we had - which come to think of it, were mostly hand-me-downs from my mother. Nathan said we needed orbs - meaning the colored balls. So we had to go buy some before the tree was perfect.
He and Eric finally went to a Cub Scout meeting last night. Now we need to get him involved in some sort of sports program. Guess looking into that will be my task for the day. Something that will work with his tight hamstrings....
