    Outside lights are up now. Those dh and dd did. So, I had to wait for him to get back from his latest business trip.

    I am still stuffing Christmas cards with our holiday letter.

      You mean that you actually write a letter, too? ....Just don't tell me that you get dressed up in a Mrs. Claus's outfit, when you hand out your presents. LOL

      If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

      BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

            I have to have lists, and I'm sure dh is much happier if he has a list from me. He has complained on many occasions that I am "difficult" to buy for.

              Yeah, we tell each other what we want, too. Everybody seems to be much happier that way. We do buy each other some smaller gifts that are surprises tho, especially for the kids. It's kinda fun trying to guess what's in the boxes.

              If I don't get started soon, the surprise is gonna be that no one is getting anything this year.

                  Some years I get inspired and come up with some good surprises, some years I don't. I think this is going to be one of those "boring" years. The biggest surprise for dh will be the weekend in San Francisco. A couple of years ago I thrilled the dds with a couple of those small, squishy pillows (got them at Brookstone). Neither one had asked for them and they both loved them.

                  If I don't get started soon, the surprise is gonna be that no one is getting anything this year.
                  Heck, at least you got your Christmas dinner arranged. That's a huge accomplishment!

                    The weekend in San Francisco is a great gift. You'll both have a ball. That's a nice surprise, for sure.

                    Yeah, speaking of surprises.....they were all pretty surprised when I told them that I wasn't making dinner. Actually, shocked would be more like it.

                      Cindi, how very sad. I hope that you'll have a good Christmas anyway regardless of what you end up doing.

                      Angela, good on you. That took some courage.

                      LOL Aahh, to be young and mischievous again.

                        I lost my Mom two years ago at Thanksgiving. Even last year I did not feel much like "doing" the Christmas thing. With the kids being adults and my Mom gone, the trend is to do less traditional things. Two years ago even went out of town for Christmas and it was lovely.

                        My thoughts will be with you during this holiday time.

                        Hope

                          What a great thread to read this morning! Just got back from the Big Island last night and there is not much done here at home for Christmas. Now I don't have to feel bad. I can continue basking in the beauty and sunshine and good times we had....

                          Hope
