Scroogery

I am a Scrooge. A Grinch. A Holiday Humbug. I never understood when people would talk about the stress of Christmas as a youngster. To me, Christmas was a magical time of joy and excitement and sleepless anticipation. Of course, as a kid all I had to do was sign my name to the family…

Santa!

That was the text I just sent. To my 34 year old roommate.  Every year in my town, Santa cruises through neighborhoods mounted atop a bedazzled firetruck. He waves at children who stream out of their houses, shouts “Ho! Ho! Ho!” and throws candy. It’s quite the scene. Here was my experience. I texted my…

It was typically accompanied by merriment and laughter! Cheeky…

The Adventures of Cheeky!

This is Cheeky: He’s my Elf on a Shelf. I took one look at those shifty eyes and crooked grin and knew he was impish. Worthy of the name Cheeky! My friends Sara and Stephanie bought him for me last Christmas, but I didn’t get him until January so this year is his debut. If…
