Our Christ­mas tree is finally up, with a mix of home-made and store-bought trim­mings. It’s our first Christ­mas tree because we thought it’d be nice for our new fam­ily to have one. The but­ter­flies and snowflakes were be-glittered by Naomi. The pretty bows were tied by Naomi too. Heck, she did every­thing. I just helped put the lights on.

The cookie bak­ery is also in full swing, or rather, as much of a full swing as Kai and work will allow it to be. And while Naomi bakes, I’m either at my desk or look­ing after Kai or look­ing for win­dows and glass sur­faces to graf­fiti with the liq­uid chalk pens which Naomi bought last week.

Well, let’s just say she’s got some idea now about how I first told her that liq­uid chalk was the devil’s chalk. Once you wield a liq­uid chalk marker, you have this ter­ri­ble urge to write, sketch and paint win­dows. Espe­cially if you are absolutely lack­ing in the skill to write, sketch and paint. I have a win­dow pane I have dec­o­rated with a car­i­ca­ture of Santa Claus (as opposed to a real­is­tic por­trayal of Santa Claus) which looks noth­ing like Santa Claus and more like either the Mer­chant of Venice or the Jew of Malta.

Oh wait, it is Hanukkah this week isn’t it? OK, I’m telling Naomi I’m not eras­ing that pane.
