2006 Magnet

More so than any other year, I am hopelessly behind in all Christmas activities. Maybe it's the warm weather or maybe I'm preoccupied with other things. Whatever the reason, I'll be fortunate to get all my Christmas shopping completed before the 25th. This is my favorite time of year, so I'm trying to enjoy it and not stress out about it.

I called Steph today and she told me that she had received my annual Christmas magnet in the mail and that it was on her refrigerator. She said I'm posing like a magazine model. "What?" I said. "Upside-down?" She started laughing and went to the refrigerator to turn it over. Yeah. Apparently, it's not obvious that I'm supposed to be hanging upside-down with lights strung around me. I thought the hanging scarf and the '2006' were dead give-aways, but obviously my magnet recipients are slower than I give them credit for. Come on, people! I knew I should've put 'Merry Christmas' across the bottom! If you want a magnet and didn't get one in the mail from me, email me. It's your lucky day. I've got extras. And they're collector's items. Bet you didn't know that.

Hooray! I got my Ultra-Super-Deluxe Allison Fridge Magnet today! And you're right, Allie - the "2006" really should be enough for folks to figure out which way is up!

Great picture, natch!
Happy holidays to you & the family, Allison!

Count me among the slow ones. I'm on the way to my refrigerator now.

I knew it was supposed to go upside down! Not all of your magnet recipients are slow :) Plus, give Steph some credit. She just gave birth. Her hormones are probably still interferring with her ability to think clearly.
