* O, Christmas Tree! O, Christmas Tree! Thank QVC for you-hoo!












* "You look ridiculous," says Yorkie to the lil' white doggie.












* "This is my best side," he says.













* Mommy loves them both.














* Despite his grumblings, Uncle loves them, too. Awwww.











* I am still full and am contemplating never eating again.

* I am still putting away the goodies Santa Mom and others bestowed upon me, including my camera (!), DVDs, books, earrings, Muppet ornaments, candles and other goodies.

* Gift cards burneth holes in my pockets. I shall spend, and soon.

* I am sick of red and bright twinkly lights.

* At CVS on Dec. 27, I passed the stock girl, well, stocking Valentine's candy. "Oh, that is so wrong," I said, out loud, before I knew it.

* What the heck. Jump start: Will you be my Valentine?

* I've been gifted in abundance.

* I am loved and supported.

* I ate more chocolate cupcakes than should be allowed.

* I wanted Merry and I got Merry.

* I'm so lucky.

* It really is the most wonderful time of the year!
