christmas time in hollis, queens.

or inglewood, california, as the case may be.  but, really, "inglewood, california" has way too many syllables.

i am in denial of how excited i am, but suffice it to say, i put up our christmas tree on the day after thanksgiving. and arlo's stocking is already stuffed, with 17 days left to go.  i have been instructed by various grandparents, great-grandparents and other family to please not buy presents for the boy, and i have almost followed directions...

but i just couldn't resist...
