I have decided that this week is the beginning of Holiday Brain for me. Because I worked so hard last week, I find myself with fewer duties than expected. I have nothing (save grade some 50-point tests) to do after my 11 o'clock class this morning. So I am going to go home (I have no office hours this afternoon), have a nice lunch with a nice cup of tea, sit in my nice clean house and grade my tests, and then after that, put on some music and knit. And maybe think a bit about decorating.

Holiday Brain = that time of year when you think about all the good things related to Thanksgiving and Christmas, and do some of the fun things you like to do. (Ooh, I really need to order my Christmas cards.)
