Thoughts on Thursday...

I'm still wrapping...haven't had that AHHHHHH moment yet!

How about you? How's your Christmas list of "Things To Do" going?

Relax and have a cup of tea...if it doesn't get done...it doesn't get done!!

Have a great day,
~Karen~

  3. Still have the wrapping to do (that's tonight's job....after doing the weekly shop at the supermarket!) and still have the house to blitz and make ready for my in-laws Christmas Eve visit as they'll be staying with us this year so not a hair should be out of place.....it's going to be a long 2 days! It will all be worth eat on Saturday night when we're eating our feast (that I'll be preparing all day...) and having one or three glasses of wine! :)

  5. Alas, I thought the "Ahhh" moment was here until yesterday afternoon. My Grandma decided to send a check for me to get Christmas gifts for my kids. Ugh. More shopping.

    Funny -- this year we are a bit short of finances, and it took me significantly longer to get all my shopping done (8 small $1-ish Hanukkah gifts per family member except 3mo baby). But we've been blessed in that others have unexpectedly (without knowing our financial crunch) given us gifts for the kids.

  6. I haven't even started wrapping and we have our gift opening tomorrow night! A number of years ago, (to avoid people having to go to 3 or 4 places on the same day), we started having a special Christmas Eve Eve evening meal and then open the gifts early the net morning. It's always fun and relaxing.

    Because there are now grandkids and multiple in-laws, we've started to include the gifts into the night time tradition. Even though I have to be ready a day before now, it sure makes the actual holiday relaxing!

  12. Everything was fine and moving along right on schedule until this morning the door for my oven broken and I have six loaves of Stolen (gifts for my neighbors) waiting to bake!!! Panic until a local appliance repairman came to the rescue. I love living in a small town.

  17. NO wrapping here! Last year I started making cloth bags with ribbon to tie them up.I found some not so nice Christmas fabric. Perfect for bags.
