Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
It's December 17th already - can you believe that? A week and a day till Christmas now. Are you all ready for the day?
I think I am mostly ready for the holiday. We got our tree and decorations up. Got the meal planned out - will be at my mom's with turkey (not a full turkey, just the white meat), mashed potatoes, rolls, etc.
I think I have got all the gifts for everyone - except for some photos I had printed. Also still need to send out cards... But I can start wrapping gifts and making sure I have everything.
Might want to find something extra for Eli. He usually gets one "big" gift from us and then a couple smaller gifts...and only have a big one and one small one. He's harder to shop for when he wants only expensive things (computer, games, etc).
I'll share more about the gifts later though, probably after Christmas is over to share what we all got.
Photo is mine - Christmas tree art I did for this year. What do you think?

I think I'm finished shopping. I only have my son and his girlfriend. Everyone else is out of state.
I love the Christmas tree.

Glad you like the design. I didn't get my Christmas wish....but maybe it can still happen this month around Christmas and we'll get a new year surprise.

I love the Christmas tree. With my husband gone, I'm not decorating this year. I got the Christmas cards out and bought 3 gift cards. I am done. Have a good day.

Glad you like the tree... Sorry you aren't, but that is understandable. Sounds like you were productive with doing those things though
