The tree is up and decorated. The village and mantle are set. The presents are wrapped. Cranberry bread is baked. So besides the dozens of cranberry muffins I will be baking the day before and distributing along with the cranberry bread to friends and neighbors we are all done.
Little Man's present from my mom arrived last night. Included was the traditional Christmas ornament she buys for each grandchild every year. This year's batch came from her trip to New Mexico. Due to the fact that it was a hand-crafted star made from metal, it wasn't wrapped unless you count the bubble wrap. I think that was more to protect the other wrapped presents. The edges are a tad sharp. Due to the sharpness, we nixed the idea of letting Little Man open it. Instead we placed it directly on the tree.
I showed him the ornament this evening when we returned home as I completely forgot about it during the morning rush. Normally, this would be something of extreme excitement for him. His ornament. He loves his ornaments. I told him it was from Amah. That should have created even more excitement. He loves his Amah.
Nope.
"MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING!"
The kid has completely bypass Christmas; a holiday involving presents which occurs in 3 days for his birthday; a "holiday" involving presents which occurs in 11 days.
Maybe it is time to introduce this kid to a calendar.
