Countdown is on...

Just three more days...time is slipping by but I am proud to announce my shopping is finished!! I haven't wrapped any presents yet but most of our gifts are gift cards so it should be a bit easier this year! Today I made my last shopping trip to Target and the Dollar Store (with a couple stops at grocery stores too!) I got home and realized that there was one gift card and Christmas card I had neglected to mail...to our grandson and his wife and family in Florida..so I got busy and took it to the post office and got it there in time to go out in the mail today!!

Tomorrow morning I am heading over to my daughter's place and we (along with my granddaughter) are going to bake and decorate cookies. We haven't done this for quite a while (together) so it should be a fun day!! Then later in the day I plan to make a couple more batches of caramel corn to be put in tins for gifts! I will then hope to get the wrapping and organizing of the gifts done on Thursday!!

Friday..Christmas Eve Fred and I will be going to my sister's church for the Christmas Eve service and then going to her apartment with my brother's family for food and family time! I am looking forward to this even though it's going to be hard as this is the first Christmas Eve we will be celebrating without my brother...he passed away in March. I know he would want us to continue this tradition and so that's the plan!

Hope everyone is having a good time with the excitement of the season...the birth of our Savior Jesus!! May we all remember what we are celebrating!!


Hope to be back once more before Christmas...but in case I get sidetracked..............
