hang a shining star upon the highest bough...

it's the end of christmas day, and i'm the only one awake here.

well, just me... and kyle.

YB went home earlier this evening, because she and one of her good friends are heading out at 7am tomorrow to hit the boxing-day sales. (they do it every year, and i applaud their fortitude. i have no interest in that level of craziness, so i'll just wait for the post-mortem upon their return.)

my parents have gone to bed.

the house is silent, save for the sound of the wind and rain outside.

the christmas lights are still twinkling, in the front window and on the tree.

and, though i had a number of blog topics float through my head today, i figure maybe it's okay to take christmas off.

so, i'm going to give mr. poo his nighttime kibbles and bid him goodnight, then grab the newest issue of Prevention, and read until i'm sleepy.
