Partridge -- the licorice Flyers are GONE (what an addictive concept -- but I even let Jeri eat half of one) and Sabine ADORES the catnip cat treats. (Mortimer didn't get excited, but hey, he's Mortimer.) And I've been daydreaming over the map. (That's what maps are for, right?)

Jeri was over yesterday and we poked and prodded and shook (lightly) the 12 wrapped gifts. If it weren't for Curmudgeon, I would have opened them all (probably Friday night). Sigh. But I'll be a good kid and wait til Christmas morning.
