List

Shopping: done
Wrapping: done
Baking: done, but I mibht be tempted to do more. . . .
Book club book, The Book Thief: done, but not in time for book club on Monday. I usually avoid books that might be described as, "set in Nazi Germany" or "narrated by Death" -- but I loved it. Death has a world-weary, warm, witty voice, and the events and characters are memorable.
Also reading: Lemony Snicket's The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, a picture book about the true meaning of celebrating the holiday you celebrate.
Xmas songs stuck in my head: "Richmond Rock Star Christmas" and Country Sunshine's "Are You Ready for Christmas?" available here.
Capital City weather: 40, gray with brown trees -- just like Christmas-time should be
