Happy Friday Everyone! Brrrr it's a cold start to this morning but the sun is shining 
My daughter is off today and meeting up with her friends to do Christmas shopping. This time every year they all take off from work and meet up to shop. After a day of shopping, they go back to someones house, hang out, have pizza and then play games. Since we live far away from where all her friends live she'll stay overnight and come home sometime tomorrow.
So, it's just me and the pup today and I will take advantage and wrap some of the gifts i got her for Christmas. I can do it all at my leisure since she's not here to see what I got.
I had a marathon phone chat with one of my besties yesterday and it was fun to catch up and chat about everything under the sun. We've probably been friends for at least 50 years and although I always enjoy our chats I do miss our in person visits. We no longer live close to each other.
The one thing I have to do today is order a gift basket for my Aunt & Uncle. It gets harder and harder every year to figure out what to send. So many Harry & David ads keep popping up here I'll probably click on one and shop there.
The rest of the day will be "me time"

such a nice tradition your daughter and her friends have. and it's good that now you'll have enough time to wrap the things you got her without her seeing it. i also have such chats with some of my friends - we don't see each other and we don't talk too often, but when we do - we make it up for all the time we misses. enjoy the day, specially "me time"

It sounds like a perfect day to stay inside and wrap gifts and get ahead of the game on that front.
I stayed in today, it was cold, but it warmed up to around the freezing mark this afternoon, so I headed over to see the girls. I hadn't seen them since last Sunday and I missed them.

What a lovely idea to get together with friends, go shopping then hang out for the evening. And a good chance for you to wrap your daugher's presents.

I plan to do some Christmas shopping this weekend. Still haven't decided what to buy for my friends. Probably a scarf, or some bath sets.
