Ho ho friggin' ho

Well. Christmas is still a month away, right? I can still do some shopping, write a few cards and still have time to catch my breath, yes? I mean, it's not like it's this Friday or anything.

What is there about Christmas? Its the only day of the year that seems to show up way faster than it should. Unless you're under ten. In that case, it takes about three eons to show up.

But I'm trying to stay on top of it while still working the practice. Getting a few things done. Was in court this AM for a client getting justice from some guy who took $150,000 from her on false pretenses. The judge will rule on Jan 8, so who knows what's going to happen, but I'm pretty confident the law cuts for us. After all, he admitted he didn't pay her a penny of it back.

But that's work. At home the house is now decorated (I keep meaning to get a picture of it to show you, since I know that you're really interested) and I've bought about 3/4 of the gifts I want to get. The rest are gift cards and I don't much care whether someone thinks it's a thoughtless gift. Most people I send gift cards to have never, ever given me a gift, so I don't have a lot of guilt on that score. I send them because they are related to me and I have no idea of what they want. What would you do?

As you note, I am rather telegraphic in the blog these days. The times when I could stretch out and do a nice long entry have seemed to fallen under the wheels of the holidays. Just as well. I get into less trouble, the less I say.

So I'm telling you now. I'm likley not to put another entry here until after the new year comes creeping in. So Merry Christmas to you. Happy Channukkah. Extraordinary Eid, Super Solstice, and for those of you who don't go in for any of that--Humbug to you, too. Hope you enjoy it.
