What day is it today? Okay, technically it’s Sunday where I am. But all day Saturday I was confused. Of course, having a kid home on a Friday because there’s no school will do that to a parent.
It’s almost time for Kris Kringle, as a matter of fact.
Kris Kringle to leave footprints on my shingles.
And slip down the chimney into my ingle. (Which I just found out is a fire in a fire place.)
Ouch.
Sing it with me …
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire …
Maybe that’s why his suit is red.
To symbolize the many times he’s been set alight.
Kringle crackling on an open fire …
That works.
Poor guy.
Speaking of Christmas, I think I’ve got almost all my shopping done. Already! I’m early this year. Normally I’m closing the stores at 5pm on Christmas Eve.
I had a salted caramel mocha at Starbucks today. Only they didn’t have the salt. So it was just a caramel mocha. Very disappointing. Especially since I had to practically mortgage my house to buy it.
I could say that it just didn’t make me tingle …
Ugh. That was a stretch.
What I will say in closing is I’ll have a Christmas present for you all soon. If you like paranormal romance, that is …

Kringle on fire. That’s kinda funny. Starbucks should be on fire and give you a coupon for a SALTED caramel mocha. Oh well. Find those moments of peace and joy along the way!

Starbucks is a racket. I keep saying never again. Not worth the cost. Yet there I go. Over and over again.

I did NOT know that an ingle was a fire in a fireplace. I guess that’s why another word for fireplace is inglenook. Okay!

Kringle in the Ingle? I hope HD sets out ok. Still, the reindeer will likely kid him about that. Congrats on being done with shopping. I hope you have a nice easy week.
