Phew! Really glad to hear the kitty showed up! So good of you to let them all come inside, esp. considering your Original feeling put out. I suspect things will call down between them.

SRS, my house isn't getting too much in the way of holiday mess. It's just the usual piling up while I am off my foot - though that's much better today! We have very few gifts and what we do have are small. It's been that way, mostly by choice, the past few years. I don't cook much except a special Swedish Tea Ring for Christmas breakfast. I only have one large bin of decorations and I am going to whittle that down after the holidays before we put it away.

I am going to ask my Rog to help me rearrange some of the office this weekend. Put some of the bins in another closet or storage. I will have Morgan for more hours after next week, at least for a few weeks, so I want to set up his little table and chairs in here for his "school and craft works" esp. when I need to be working on the computer. He and I are both excited and I want the space to be welcoming and comfortable for him. So that should help declutter the office temporarily until he gets in here!:-)
