He's ready... are you?

"...'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...".  After another whirlwind year, and another month or more of preparation, Christmas Day is nearly here again.  I hope you've had a good 2011, and that you are enjoying today and the next few days with family and friends, celebrating the season and enjoying good times with your loved ones!  Merry Christmas from me and the blog!
