Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Things you don't hear in every household

I took the Christmas decorations down today. If it were up to me, the tree would stay until February (and it probably could too, since I cut it fresh...as of today it had dropped maybe one needle). Still, Victor subscribes to the notion that Christmas is over around New Year's, so I only get to stretch it out to the weekend after Epiphany.

(I almost had him. I tried to convince him that the Redskins' winning streak coincided with putting up the tree, so to take in down while we're in the playoff would be bad luck.)

He did help me put all the ornaments and stuff away, and here's where you get "Things you don't hear in every household":

I have a Zombie attack at four, but as soon as I'm done with that I'll finish taking down the Christmas lights.
