Well, Grandma Kathy (my mom) is here now and we put the tree up today, so it's really beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. So far, so good. Next week is full of Christmas plays and whatnot, so that will be busy. Can't even begin to count the number of times I need to be at school. But it's fun, too. And my mother will enjoy being able to go along and see things, which normally she misses, of course. Geoff's mother is with us as well, but not until the 23rd.
