Original post: Truly, it's a little over a week away! Did you know this? It totally sneaked up on me! We've been preparing for it all year and now it's almost here. Hmm. How did that happen?

We always host Christmas meal over at our house, while the parents traditionally host Thanksgiving at theirs. This year, we ended up having Thanksgiving at ours, but we're still hosting Christmas. About two weeks ago We would have had the menu set, most of the items purchased for the meal, and cookie dough wrapped and waiting to thaw and bake in our freezer. Um, not this year. The funny thing about it is that truly, We don't care. We mean, We care a LOT about Christmas and spending that special time with family and friends, but We am not worried about the meal. Maybe we'll do our traditional lobster and corn chowder with a rack of lamb. Maybe we won't. Maybe we'll make a crapload of Christmas cookies like we normally do, maybe we won't (ok, We admit We have ONE lonely log of cookie dough in the freezer). Maybe we'll simply have Spam sandwiches. Simply kidding. We don't know why, but We feel like it's simply not a big deal this year.

Hmm. But now We am hungry and now We am thinking about the meal. Maybe We simply needed to blog about it to get the culinary juices flowing and help get the ass in gear. Christmas is, after all, the following Sunday. WOOHOO! Suddenly, We am SOOO excited!!!! We LOVE Christmas!!!
