All what you need is an organizer and a party loving group

Always smiling @allknowing (138093) • India 14h

That is what happened on December 26 at Solitaire I just treated them as a group and not as my extended family. They did not expect that there would be a party spirit as most thought there will be just talk exchanging glimpses...

ShannyBananny I had dinner at 2pm at my in-laws house then was supposed to go to my moms at 5:30. What I was making took so long that I never got there until 7. I was so upset. I did get some wonderful gifts.

ShannyBananny that’s funny you struggle with the Lego orchid as well. Once you get it all together though it will last much longer then a real orchid at least. I’ve seen a lot of cute Lego sets lately like the grinch themed ones.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342397) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Dec

ShannyBananny I love when there aren’t long lines. Christmas shopping so close to Christmas was terrible. I am so glad that is over. Tell me about the kitchen counter. The faucet turns to go in either basin and the basins open and close like a window is that correct?

Are you a gift bag person, or a gift wrapper?

Amber @AmbiePam (94237) • United States 28 Dec

Well, are you a gift bag user, or a wrapper? I used to wrap everyone’s presents, and I’d get really creative in how I adorned the paper. Two years ago, I just got weary of it, and went to all gift bags. As you can see, on...

ShannyBananny I mostly wrap presents. I don’t do a beautiful job of wrapping them but they look okay and it gets the job done. If I have more time next year maybe I’ll try new beautiful ways to wrap things like I saw on Pinterest.
