Cara: Oh yeah...that.
Posted by

In my stocking I want someone to do all the "regular" stuff now these days before Christmas. Like do the laundry, clean the bathroom, make the beds, food shop. That stuff's not so fun normally,now it's just a pain.
I would much prefer to wake up bake some cookies, wrap a few gifts, plan for my up coming gatherings things like that.
But amidst visits from Santa's elves, Christmas school performances and decking the halls are dirty clothes to wash, floors to mop, weekday dinners to cook. So I guess I will have to make a shopping list not of toys and Christmas gift requests, but of toilet paper, cat food, juice boxes and milk.
Oh well. My plan is to run myself ragged this week so that next week will be filled with fun Christmas to do's. I better get some sleep and dreams of sugar plums so that I make it!!!

Jenn: 2 weeks
In case you hadn't noticed, Christmas is two weeks from today. I hadn't put that little Gem in my head until hubby pointed it out last night. I am in good shape shopping wise - but not great. This is a different kind of Christmas in my house this year. I don't know how the kids will react but there will be much less under the tree. Usually there are mounds of presents. Everyone asked for something expensive this year so the mounds will be a neat LITTLE pile - very little. Everyone asked for a "wow" gift this year- something expensive. So they will get their wish but that's pretty much it - now I have to concentrate on the little gifts. Sounds easier than it is. What do you get a 14-year-old-boy who want nothing? The girls are easy - they want clothes, dolls, dancewear. Sam is a challenge and he is not helping with any suggestions of things he would like.
So the kids are almost done. Hubby is done. Sister-in-law done. Sister done. Dad done. That leaves my mom, mom-in-law, sister-in-law, brother and brother-in-law. It also leaves the wrapping - which I haven't started and my dear friend Cara has finished. I guess I better get out there and shop in between dance runs.
I haven't even started on Christmas cards yet - not even the picture - guess I will do that tomorrow along with trimming the tree and baking cookies. What do you have left to do?
Cara's two cents: Now, now...I am not a total Xmas psycho..I still have presents to wrap for other people..cookies to bake..a tree to chop down and decorate...cooking...
cleaning and wait! I only have two weeks???? Ack!!!!
