Holy crap. I can’t believe we are rounding the final corner for Christmas. This is considered to be the last weekend that retailers guarantee your package to be delivered before Christmas when you buy online.

Roo (my teenager) woke up today with a stuffy, runny nose and a slightly sore throat and of course I am freaking the eff out.
