I keep things so simple that I'm done already!!
I keep things so simple that I'm done already!!
We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.
I still have to bake some cookies and do some last minute cleaning .
For Christmas, all we have to do is put the gifts from my stepdad and his wife, who are Christian and send specific Christmas presents, under our tree.
For Yule, however, that's tomorrow, and I have EVERYTHING left to do. Took me an hour to wrap 4 presents last night. Today we have to walk in the snow up to the store, to make sure we have food, because we're going to get snow over the next couple days! Since we live in a "concrete canyon" with slippery hills on all sides of us, if we get bunches of snow, not only will we not be able to get anywhere easily, but no one will be able to get to their jobs at the local stores/restaurants, so we have to make sure we're prepared.
I still need to finish wrapping, plan the menu for Christmas and shop for the food, finish decorating and just pick up around here. I tend to have the dropsies when it comes to stuff. And I'm sitting here!!
The cards are out, packages have been shipped and are delivered, the ourside is decorated, the tree is up with ornaments the mantle is decorated.
I still have to get the house ready for the family, put up the Christmas tree (hadn't done it yet since we have 5 kittens to tear it down!), buy the food and one more gift card, and go to WDW to buy my presents from DH with the money he gave me!!! Got my running shoes on so I can get all this done in time!!!
I'm done except for making my cheese dip and shrimp cocktail to bring to our family Christmas Eve get-together. Ahh, the stress of it all....it will be over soon, so hang in there everybody!!
