The blitz of holiday cheer my parents are capable of delivering can be measured in megatons. Best left to the seasoned pros ...
Merry Christmas, everyone.

I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don't know anything like enough yet.
About Me
- Chris in NF
- I'm an English professor. I completed my PhD at Western in September 2004, and was hired at Memorial University of Newfoundland. This blog started out as my way of keeping in touch with people -- giving friends and family the option of checking up on me at their leisure without the annoyance of frequent lengthy mass emails. It still does that, but has also become my personal forum for airing whatever happens to be on my mind. You have been warned.

Sometimes I think the sole purpose of babies is to make Christmas fun again for adults..
Merry Merry!
The first two years of my nieces lives we showered them with gifts that pretty much sat unopened for hours as they had to do the usual naps, bottles, changes etc. Age three-four are the years when it all comes together. As evidenced by my four year old niece screaming "ok more presents, I'm all done [sic] deese ones!!!"
hope you had a great christmas!!
