awaking in the middle of a prodigiously tough snore

well i am smack in the middle of The Christmas Carol and even though i am ashamed to say that i've never read it, i am LOVING it! i am feeling the Christmas spirit like never before! okay, that might be stretching the truth but there is nothing like the transformation of crotchety old scrooge to make me appreciate this special season. whoops...ava just woke up from her nap, so i have to run but i will continue this excitement later!
