But NO ONE is as excited as my mother.
See, when she was little girl she played piano. When she started taking lessons, she envisioned her playing christmas carols while the entire family gathered around and sung along. Instead, whenever she would play, she would hear all the doors in the house closing so they wouldn't have to listen. Apparently this has given her some kind of complex.
It started with her living vicariously through my piano playing. She sits there and watches me when I practice, and fancies herself some kind of expert although she hasn't played since she was 12. And she kept trying to print out some song called Suzie Snowflake that used to be her favorite. Last night she found it on youtube and insisted I listen to it.
But now, she has taken it to an all new level. Today she printed out the sheet music for at least 7 different christmas songs. When I refused to learn Jolly Old Saint Nicholas for her, she took it upon herself. It's pretty awful.
I love my mom.

Hahaha I can't wait until you do the same thing to your daughter because you are going to be just like her. But that is definitely a good thing. :)
