The most perfect Christmas Eve... all things considered

Pokey has to work today so I made a special "pizza" for Hobbit and me for tonight's Doctor Who marathon...

It smelled fabulous as it baked in the oven - all peanut buttery and yummy...

I thought it was perfect like this but I was apparently wrong...

It is perfect like this - and requires some vanilla ice cream to cut the sweetness.

My mailman, dressed as Santa, brought me a late birthday present...

I tried to leave it all sealed up and safe...

but it was calling my name and I had to open it up and pet it.

My "Rise to the Challenge" project yarn...

It's beautiful, isn't it.  Soft, squishy and perfect - 2460 yards of perfection (1230 yds of each color)

... and to make it even better, Pokey just called on his supper break.  He is allowed to leave at 6 p.m. so he'll be home by 7 p.m. to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to Hobbit before she goes to bed tonight - just like he does every year.

Now that was a Christmas wish come true - so God bless us, every one.
