I've done a good job of keeping the house relatively clean this month. I hung my clothes up after wearing them and there were no dirty dishes in the sink.
I have a bad habit of building a nest where ever I land. Almost magically a pile of papers, books and glasses appear around me.
I made myself straighten up the house, catch up on laundry, change the sheets, vacuum and finish my column before I let myself open my stocking.
Santa brought something for Felix and me. Felix got a rubber band ball, which looks suspiciously like the rubber band ball he got last year, just a little bigger. I got a box of peppermint tea and fun pair of sock monkey slippers. My old pair of slippers were a Christmas gift at least ten years ago.
The new slippers and soft and cozy - and darn cute.

Nora,
I would love to start with a clean slate. But no time, right now. I finally rationalized: Why clean if I'm just gonna have to do it all over again at the end of January? I'm gonna need a ShopVac and a dust mask by then.
I thought nesting was for.... oh well, never mind. cliff
LOL - I like those slippers - and you have nice ankles. (Is that a weird thing to say? Cause I'm not a weirdo... Well, maybe.)
Thanks for the shout out. My house is completely cleaned out. We donated more than a half dozen bags full of stuff to Goodwill. The house feels lighter and happier. It's definitely a tradition I intend to keep each New Years. It was so worth all the work.
(Hopefully this year I won't build up that much junk again though.)
