On the first day of Christmas, my true loves gave to me...

A Very Messy House
And a Shiny Plastic Christmas Tree






Or, as Bridget says, we call it "Christmas" because it's Christian, and you make a mess.

A number of people have asked me if Bridget and Kate are having a hard time right now, since it is the first holiday season without their father. I suppose the answer is "yes", but not worse than you would expect, under the circumstances, and maybe not worse than other holiday seasons. They are very clingy with me, which I'm sure I will be nostalgic about when they are teenagers and won't speak to me.
