Chrrrrrriiiiistmas!

Yep! We are now putting Christmas decorations up around our house. Hon's assistant's (Chewy's) big brother, Crunchy, has started a business as a handyman so we hired him to string up Christmas lights on our roof. For those of you who thought Chewy looked big in the movies, you have no idea how big Crunchy is! He is a mammoth wookie! But, he is very adept at intricate work...like changing out those minute lights. Padmae has now banned me from throwing occasional snacks up to him, however. She says he's too heavy already. (I think it is that big gaping hole he made in our bedroom ceiling that made the difference...)
Anyhoo, I'm getting into the Christmas spirit! I can't wait to start my Christmas shopping. (Now that black Friday is over, I can now go shopping without the prospect of getting killed!) We are really having fun putting Christmas decorations up. Padmae is planning on buying a mechanical Santa to put in our entry to scare any guests that might show up at our house. (At least that's what I think it's for...) I overheard Luke telling her, "Mom, you don't have to buy one! Dad's getting rounder every year! He can dress in his red bathrobe and scare visitors for you!"
Very funny, Luke. I kinda wish you weren't on Christmas vacation!
