Is it almost Christmas?

Wow! Christmas is almost upon us! It sure sneaks up, doesn’t it? Especially when we have unseasonably high temperatures (think high 70’s – low 80’s). I haven’t been able to wear a sweater at all this month!

Anyway, my birthday weekend came & went, we threw a birthday/holiday bash at our place and I blew out a bunch of candles. It was wonderful to see everyone and I wanted to send out a huge thank you to my wonderful husband who did such a great job helping me get ready for the party. He bought all the food and drinks, set up almost all of it (the presentation looked beautiful) and even vacuumed/mopped the house for me. It was the least stress I have ever had to deal with in terms of getting the house ready for guests and I really do appreciate it!

I can’t remember what else we did that weekend but I think it involved vegging around the house, maybe even doing some shopping.

Now it is already Thursday and I have another day off tomorrow making this a long holiday weekend for me. For Christmas itself we are driving to Kenny’s mother’s near Dallas Sunday night for a one-night stay.

So all the shopping is done though, the gifts are wrapped and under the tree and most of my cards are finally done and were mailed today (yes, late but at least they were mailed before Christmas). All I have left is to mail some packages (they can arrive after Christmas, so no big deal) and a handful more cards that will all go out tomorrow at the latest. I am disappointed the cards got out so late but considering I made them myself instead of just using store-bought cards, I am not going to be that hard on myself!

I am really looking forward to the end of the day today, to sleeping in tomorrow, to spending the day with Kenny (we hope to go to the Museum to see the dog exhibit before it ends)… Yippee!!! And we decided to open presents on Saturday before we head out the next day so I even get my presents early! Double yippee!!

What are your Christmas plans?
