Christmas Eve–Despite repeated attempts to convince my two children that it is not Christmas Eve, they are not as gullible as they used to be, and have also figured out how to read a calendar. Therefore, I lose. It IS Christmas Eve.

I was crafty this year, however, and decided NOT to put tags on the presents. This has given me endless-opportunity hours of legal torture. “I’ve forgotten which presents are which! You’re going to have to guess. I’ll shake them. I can figure it out. I think. If you open the wrong present, you are just going to have to hand it back to the rightful owner.” What fun. My on-the-brink-of-teenagehood daughter was NOT amused. The younger one, however, caught on to my scheme. “You color-coded them mom.” Damn. She’s a little too smart for her own good.
