Cristmas Effusion

Katie is in the kitchen muttering about automatic payments and leafing through her day's mail. I'm waterlogged with clementines (they're so small and sweet and tart all at the same time--good reason to eat LOTS of them). This Christmas I'm excited to... no... I'm just plain excited about Christmas!!! Yay! Yay! Yay! A few minutes ago, I was sitting in the darkened Main House parlor (sitting room of the main building on campus) just to look at the newly bedecked tree, all lit up and shiny. I find Christmas lights fascinating, and one of the few things in life that I actually feel effusive about. *happy sigh*

Maybe tomorrow I'll buy a tree for my apartment.
