Confessions on a cold morning

My Kindle is searching the Oxford Dictionary for "succumbation" as I start this post.  
The yellow bar is barely crawling along...
My venerable print copy was checked first - found nothing - so I figured I should 
put the resources available through technology to work.
That yellow bar is still crawling...
If it proves to be a word then I may claim the privilege 
of poster child.

You may remember the recent meatloaf incident...
This latest succumbation resets the bar.

I bought Christmas ornaments the other day.
Still crawling....


Yes, I've had a list of projects posted for several weeks already.
Hold on while I put another log on the fire.



 0 results for succumbation.

Yes, I've revised the list several times and actually begun several projects..
Yes, I've looked through Pinterest and various books/magazines
 for Christmas ideas.  

None of that counts.
Buying ornaments is in a different category.
I've succumbed.

You can submit your new word to The New Yorker. William Safire used to be the man in charge, but I am sure someone has taken over. At least I hope someone has. Will look for more information.
