Christmas is Coming

Dear Diary,

After decorating our Christmas tree and installing a new bookshelf in the library, it was still too cold for me to do any outdoor activities.  I deemed it 'sit in a hot tub and read' day.  I don't have a hot tub (hint, hint, Santa) so I compromised by taking a hot bath.  The book I started reading was about the sinking of the Lusitania.  I know it sounds a bit dreary, but then my sister got me started on reading non-fiction, so we can blame her.  I tried shopping online, today, but every time I was ready to check my shopping cart my computer would lock up.  At first, I thought it was my computer.   After three stores, I discovered that cyber Monday bled into Tuesday.  I gave up in frustration and tumbled out into the cold for a trip to the local stores.  I was happy to discover the temperature made it into the 50s and I was able to travel in relative comfort with my seat heater on low.  I made it home safely with a new dog bed for the mini-pin and a skirt for under my tree.  Not sure how this translates into gift shopping, but I'm rolling with it.  Maybe tomorrow I'll actually buy something for someone else.
