Making Christmas

Christmas season, it’s hardly any secret, is my favorite time of the year. And Christmas Eve is my favorite day of all.

And I’ve finished my shopping! And have most of the presents on hand.  Now all I have to do is gift-wrap ‘em.

Thanks to the kindness of my friends Dan and Ruth Blair, down Mexico way, I even have a package of my own! It comes wrapped in a festive blue sack, with a major golden ribbon. Impressive.

Soon I’ll even have a tree to put it under – my very first wild-caught one. Thanks to Harriet Engle, whose answer to my Christmas tree dilemma I decided to follow, and Tom Sittler.

So it all comes together. I even got in a bit of a Christmas-light cruise tonight. I hope to do many more – although it freaks me out a little bit how little time is left until actual Christmas.

Well, I plan to make the most of it. Hope you do too.

Socializing with my friends is a big part of the season’s joy for me. I have a fair amount of that lined up. And I hope to get in plenty more.

While I don’t expect Christmas presents, I admit I much enjoy receiving as well as giving. Which applies to other things as well, which since this is a family-friendly blog (kinda, sorta) we’ll gloss right over….  So, anyway, should you feel inclined to get me something, you can find my Amazon Wish List here.

And keep watching the skies, or at least this blog, for some hot dinosaur-related updates. The Big Rewrite of The Dinosaur Lords proceeds; I’m itching to get this done so I can start writing the next one!

Have a wonderful holiday season, everybody!

And as always – thanks for reading!
