It must be close to Christmas, cuz I'm fighting off a subborn cold

BRRRR! It's cold outside but if we manage to get a little bit of snow cover, it'll start to fell like Christmas. We've talked about spending the holidays out of town, in some sunny, balmy place. Not sure how I'll take to that.
So, we've got a good handle on our shopping done, with only my daughter and dad to buy for, plus a couple of stocking stuffers for each other ...
One of my favourite rituals at this time of year and once the tree is up, is to luminate the Christmas tree in the wee hours of the morning--there's a warm, fuzzy, nostaligic feeling I associate with it, kind of like those Christmases when I was a child.
I'll end up sounding like a broken record on this topic, BUT, I'm loving the new TV, esp. the HD programming. After my wife has trundled off to bed, I've been staying up watching HBO's Six Feet Under. I can see why people find it to be so captivating, and it's ultimately about a subject that everyone will experience in living.
I'm going to cut this short, because our little pug is starting to scratch at her pillow. Translation: I want to go for a walk.
