Here Come the Martian Kings: Our Own Little Touches to Christmas

Boy, have I been busy lately.  But of course, so has pretty much everyone.  Because it’s Christmas.  Presents to buy, presents to wrap, Christmas Carols services to organize (yes, I did do this), homes to decorate, gingerbread houses to put together, children’s excitement to manage….  Even as I write, two of my children, probably hyped up on sugary drinks at the special dinner we had tonight, are walking around speaking in a purposely annoying nonsense language.

But it’s all worth it.  Because it’s Christmas, you know.
