Hello, friends! I took my kids to buy a Christmas tree on Wednesday. That seems pretty late. But it's been hard to feel Christmasy. I think because it still feels like March 2020 in many ways. But as of Tuesday, my kids are fully-vaccinated, which makes the pandemic more of an inconvenience than a danger for my house. I wish everyone else could say the same.
