mom, Yuletide, and holiday wishlists

First, just a quick note to say thank you for all your comments. My mother is doing better, and though she'll continue to be ill the rest of her life, at least they're learning how to treat it so she's not in as much pain.

In the same vein as Yuletide, I'm just waiting for you all to post your holiday_wishes. This is another of my favorite activities this time of year, finding wishes I can fill. Make my life easy and post your lists soon.

On that note, I should probably think about starting my holiday shopping one of these days. This is the latest I've ever let it slide without knowing at least one gift for each person on my list. I've only bought one thing so far. I used to be done shopping in July.

I have become a holiday slacker. Woo.
