Almost Christmas?

I can't believe that Christmas is just a week from tomorrow. This year has gone by so fast! I need to get things finished - like gifts. I got most of Eli's; just need to wrap everything. I got some for my husband - but waiting on them to arrive. Got one for my mom, that I am waiting on(don't expect it till January though) so I need to get her a few other small things. I still have a few cards to send/get ready. Hopefully we will go to my great-grandma's for Christmas...just depends if the weather is kind. Eli and I will make some cookies to take - gingerbread and snickerdoodle. Are you ready for Christmas? Photo is mine - one of the trees lit up in the town park.

I guess I better get some things into the mail. I'm not sending a lot of cards this year. I am not making cookies but maybe I will buy some fancy Christmas cookies in the tins. I like your photo.

I don't want to sound so bah hum but I am glad it's done. It's been a hard year. I did the best I could have didn't let anyone know I wanted to skip this year.

@MommyOfEli2013 It's been a lot and our tradition came to a stand-still. Just so much and after all was over, I was alone in my tiny house. Usually, we had something going until evening. It wasn't bad but wasn't Christmas to me.

I think I am ready. I may need a few last minute groceries, but I think I have everything I need. I hope I didn’t forget anything.

We are ready...but we didn't have much to do anyway. Only had to buy one gift card.

That's good to hear. And that is not too bad. I just try to get a lot of small gifts for people since I can't afford bigger gifts

I am pretty much finished with Christmas shopping. The only one I have left to shop for is my Dad, but that should be pretty easy. Yep, it is right around the corner. Where in the heck does the time go, hey?

@MommyOfEli2013 I find the entire process of Christmas shopping frustrating and irritating personally. But I don't much care for shopping for anything. lol

@porwest Oh wow, really? Well I guess that is understandable - especially if you don't like it in general

That's good to hear...it can be stressful to not be ready and have Christmas be just a few days away. If that doesn't make sense I apologize I am sick lol (just a cold). The year has flown by...hard to believe!

I like it if on the 25th there is a home alone film playing on television, it's nice to meet and see Kevin Mc'callister in action
