Happy X-wanzakkah indeed!
This December was quite a ride. Two weeks ago, my mom was hospitalized with acute respiratory distress. She ended up on a ventilator for about a day and a half, then worked her way back down the ladder of "things to help you breathe" until she was finally discharged with an inhaler prescription and some other stuff. Amidst all this, she has been working on packing up her house. The long term plan was to sell the house, then move to an independent senior living apartment here in Chattanooga. Given the developments this month, she decided she was ok with owning two homes again, secured an apartment, and moved in today. She and I drove a van-full and a Rav4-full of her things up from the MS house this week.
So yay, my mom is here in Chattanooga! But also boo breathing problems. I hope this was a one-time thing.
I got a Meta Quest 2, and a bunch of other stuff.

Happy new year, glad yo momma is doing better I know a few doctors so I'm proclaiming that maybe in the midst of moving stuff the dust got to her, I cleared out my shed year before last and kicked up some pretty gnarly dust and was dealing with it for like a month
Hope everyone is ready for round 4 of 2020, Janet yellen says we'll be fine if nothing unanticipated happens

Seasons' greetin's and all that.
Logan gained the Mario Luigi Brothership game on Switch. He also gained Knowledge of the Elf on the Shelf's true nature.. but surprisingly did not press the questions further into Santa territory. Now I wonder if he will ever outright ask that one, or if he will (has?) quietly come to that realization.
Cynthia was very excited that the snow globe that she described in detail in her request (a little cabin in the woods with a tree and a snowman) was found under the tree, from Santa. He must have made it to her specifications.
The whole family got a zipline that I need to figure out where and how to install so that we maximize some combination of fun and safety.
I got a lock picking starter set, a "snacks from around the world" subscription, some lovely warm shirts / sweaters, a travel cup that has a built in vuvuzela-ish noise maker.. lots of goodies.
Hearts and huggles to all you Muggles.

Santa brought us all fishing poles so we can actually use our lake. He also got us a Ninja Creami that we are realizing may just be a glorified blender (I can update with results later).
Michael got me a new iPhone (woohoo!).
Kids got waaaayyy too many toys from grandparents et al.
We still have kinard family Christmas on Sunday.
Santa is still very real in our house. Bertie is just figuring it out, Josie and Ada are all in. But Ada is going to either figure it out or ask us at some point, and it may very well be earth shattering for her. Right now her prevailing reasons as to why Santa must be real is that: 1) Mom would never be willing to get up in the middle of the night to stuff stockings and put out gifts, and 2) Dad would never lie to her. Neither is a good look on us. 😬
Happy X-wanzakkah!

I'm trying to plant the seeds of "Santa is all of us, so Santa is as real as our Christmas spirit" but I don't think I'm doing it very well.

Best Christmas present came a couple days late. Michael found my right AirPod that I lost under the bed and put it in my stocking and said “I think you missed something in your stocking”

Matt I think the zipline should go all the way down the mountain.
I think y'all should appreciate that for this year I got a little set of LED lights that I added to a shelf that Barbie's sister doesn't need and I made a "Drew's Video Game Museum". I'm planning on writing blurbs for each of the items with heart warming stories including how I traded with Arif for a Nintendo DS for a keyboard with a overly sensitive B key that I used to could hear upstairs because it seemed like he used it in every song he played.
