This art cracked me up. Lithograph, “New-Year’s Present to a Bachelor”. DL*60.2300. Peters Prints Collection.

We are now less than three weeks until Christmas and we still haven’t done any Christmas shopping, really. Mostly because we have no idea what the kids want. But, I’m sure something will present itself before the time comes.

Christmas seems to be less and less of an event the older the kids get, but I hope we can recapture the joy somehow, starting new traditions and eventually having more family members to celebrate with (if and when my kids get future partners and/or children).
