My holiday traditions are probably much quieter than most of yours - especially those of you with small children.  When I am in town for Christmas, I meet a group of girlfriends for lunch and a movie.  No one has to clean or cook :-)  (This year, we're going to see Joy.)

Here are some photos of houses that Annie and I pass on our walks.  The owners clearly have their own holiday traditions.

                          Happy corner-viewing!

I am too busy trying to finish two classes to even think about the holidays or decorating the house.  I don't think I am going to even put up a tree this year. (Which is really the height of laziness as my tree is in a pot on the patio.  I just need to roll it into the living room and decorate it.  The shelf in the garage that held the ornaments fell down last week, so the ornaments are already unwrapped and all over the garage floor and yet I still cannot be bothered.  How's that for sheer laziness?? I should be ashamed.)  

So, back to theme at hand... one of my favorite songs from the '80s is Madonna's Holiday:

And here I am goofing around with my friend, Robin, imitating Madonna... 1984?? 1985?? What you can't see is that we are both wearing a lot of bracelets.  And my shoes?  They were black with a shiny purple paisley design.  (I loved those shoes!!  ALMOST as much as my blue and purple paisley tights.)

                Happy corner-viewing and happy holidays!

It's not cold in Orlando this week.  This is my home thermostat tonight with the windows and back door open:

This is  the only cold place in my house:

And while she's not cold, Pippa is certainly cool :-)
