Ho, Ho, Hack

'Tis the season for the common cold and I am getting mine for Christmas. After two days of "resting" and 2 nights coughing, I have lost a bit of my Christmas spirit. I keep thinking that Christmas is far away and then I wake up and it's Christmas Eve Eve. You see, I am a fan of the anticipation of it all. Christmas Eve Eve and Christmas Eve are the best part of the season. I should be gitty with excitement, making cookies, singing songs. But today and tomorrow I will only be able to croak Santa Claus is coming to town and Jingle Bells for Bella and Tori and hopefully I won't scar their memories of Christmas for life. Bella is such a spit-fire and so gleeful about the season and I want to be that with her, but I'm not. Instead I have body aches, headaches, sore throat and a hacking cough. I only pray that the rest of the family doesn't get this nastiness again. Yes, I said again. I am sure I got it from them and as I am learning we just keep passing the crap around.
Bah!
I need some eggnog and gingerbread cookies to kick me out of this funk!!
