Christmas Time Is Here Again...

We started decorating for Christmas today at my house. The tree is up and almost complete. My brother's boundless enthusiasm has been fun to watch and his boundless energy will ensure that we do indeed complete the decorating. It has become clear that he will not rest until 'all things Christmas' have found a home within our house. I love this time of year. Yes, I know it has become way too commercialized and media-ized (Look! I made up a word! Don't ask me to define it. You know what it means.) but there is still a sense of wonder surrounding this season.
