We decorated the Christmas tree today - we bought it yesterday at Lodi Farms, our favorite local nursery.
While K was putting up one of the decorations with his name on it, he declared "I want this to be in the middle so everyone can see the glory of me." Humble is not a word commonly used to describe him.
We were listening to Christmas music and Elvis's version of "Here Comes Santa Claus" was on. I've always wondered about a line in that song: "Let's give thanks to the Lord above, 'cause Santa Clause comes tonight." Some of today's popular "prosperity" preachers would approve, but I find it a tenuous connection.

In non-Christmas news, the homeowner in our neighborhood who was involved in a shooting earlier this week was released for the time being as investigators continue to look into what happened. They believe it may have been self-defense, and are not charging him at this time. This article gives some of the updates.

In non-Christmas and non-gun-related news, my nephew Daniel has chicken pox, as do some of his classmates. Try not to scratch, Daniel!
Here's hoping everyone else reading this is healthy and relatively non-itchy.
