Need some Christmas spirit

In light of recent events I've kinda slacked on the whole Christmas thing in our house. I didn't send out cards, bought them but didn't mail them, no Christmas cookies, advent calendar forgotten, house a MESS! No presents are wrapped yet, (thank goodness we got our shopping done early!), meant to put Christmas lights up around the house (inside), so many Christmas crafts were scheduled to do and things were bought to make them but I haven't done any. Casey's stocking will probably not be done in time for Christmas.
So. Tomorrow I will go shopping for goodies to make, clean this house and get on the ball for my kiddos. Christmas will still come to our house no matter what.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
