So What Wednesday...

So What If...

 

 

1.  I am going to have to remove myself from the Sanrio e-mail list.  I got an e-mail that said "Free Date Mate with Any Order" and I almost took the bait.  Do you even know what a "Date Mate" is?  It is a tiny paper calendar.  Granted, it is crazy cute, but it is STILL A TINY PAPER CALENDAR.

 

2.  My kid didn't sing/dance a single lick at his Christmas Pageant last night until the very last word.  Literally, on the last word of the whole 30 minute shebang, he joined in.  It was hilarious!!  I just love his little personality.

 

 

3.  I don't do Elf on the Shelf.  I think it's cute, but no way would I go through elaborate lengths to do something new every night.  I would so  be the parent who forgets to move it.  Besides, I bought a Santa and Christmas Tree salt and pepper shaker set at the thrift store the other day (Lenox and new in the box- BAM!).  They are sitting on the highest shelf of the china cabinet because T won't leave them alone.  He randomly says things like, "Santa is watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates."  (from his perch on the china cabinet, I presume.)  Anyway, last night he said, "Santa is watching the Christmas Tree!"  I replied with, "Maybe Santa is watching to see if you are naughty or nice."  Without missing a beat, T looked at the Santa salt shaker and said, "I'm sorry."  WHO NEEDS A STINKIN' ELF?!?

 

 

4. My Christmas tree has like 5 ornaments on it.  We do have two different kinds of lights a la Vintage Revivals.  We weren't going to put any ornaments at all due Icemageddon and getting a tree really late and finals and everything else.  But we have been given a few this year so they are all up on the tree.

 

 

5.  I have lots of plans for my Christmas break and none of them involve wearing real pants.
