Priorities

Hi, blog peeps! Mommy's kinda busy right now. She and Daddy and Neatnik were actually pretty busy most of the day...

Daddy had to go to work this morning but he got to come home at lunch time. While Daddy was at work, Mommy and Neatnik went to the grocery store and the library and the Dollar $tore. I'm really glad that Mommy let me stay home while they did that. I heard that it was really cold outside and that the traffic was heavy and that the stores were awfully crowded.

The library was mostly empty, though. That probably says something about people's priorities, doesn't it?

One priority that seemed tuned to the right frequency popped up late this afternoon. Neatnik sang with the youth choir for the four o'clock children's mass. I thought that she looked very cute and grown-up in her pretty dress and with her hair all twisted up into a ballerina's bun. Mommy and Daddy said that the church was packed full of people and that most people sang.

Mommy just finished making a batch of The Quartermaster's Preference and putting all of Neatnik's presents into shiny gift bags. She did the same thing for Daddy's stuff and their stockings, too. That's why Mommy's so tired, I guess; she's too tired even to knit tonight, she told me.

Anyway, Mommy says that I should wish all of the blog peeps a very Merry Christmas. I'm also supposed to wish you health, happiness, and a peaceful heart.
