Merry Christmas 🎅 Peace ☃️ Joy 🎄 Happy Holidays

I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas.

The video above offers a brief look at how the hubby and I celebrate Dec. 25. I know, I should have shot it horizontally, but that's why I'm a writer, not a cinematographer. And no, there will be no videos of me making our holiday dinner.

Enjoy today and your traditions however and whatever you celebrate, or if you don't!

I'll be back here with a return to taxes tomorrow. 

Until then, a few more of our favorite Christmas items reflecting our native Texan perspectives.

We start with the Mexican folk art armadillo who followed the wise men into the Nativity crèche, and the barbed wire Lone Star State ornament. And yes, folks who read yesterday's Christmas Eve EV tax credit post saw these already. Armadillo creche and barbed wire Texas 2022

Our Ann Richards crocheted angel, named after the former Texas governor with the distinctive white bouffant and biting wit, now sits on our mantel. Originally, she was our first tree topper.

And we leave you with one of our neighbors' exterior displays, the Minion who's going to get coal in his stocking!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
