So things are looking up..... about time too. I wrapped all the gifts that will be going to Florida this morning and am satisfyed they will have a nice Christmas...lol Shari and Dan and Mindy and Ryan will be leaving Wednesday morning .... I guess I was down to the wire in wrapping. If the others go as well I will be happy.... I even have a house warming present for Tom and Cindy. We got them a digital camera so they can send us lots of pictures so we can be closer.... they don't have one so I got them one like the little one I keep in my purse only a new updated version... hope they like all the gifts..... and know how much we love them too....
I sent Leo to get two big bags to put some bed pillows in I got for Shari and Dan.... They never buy a nice new one and I got them the best.... Dan loves pillows and took an old one I no longer used so I think he will be sooooo happy don't you? Once I know what to buy I love shopping for it but don't like to wrap presents..... something like cooking.... don't like that anymore either.... guess I've been there and done that so many times its not fun any more and I get nervous doing both. afraid I won't do it good enough I guess. I will be so happy when Christmas eve is over and Im sitting in church Christmas day singing Christmas carols etc..... That to me is really Christmas anyway but I have to make my 7 kids and their familys happy first.
Maybe when the presents are all wrapped and it starts to snow I will really get into the mood and play all my Christmas records. I noticed Gary strung christmas lights in his window and he has been playing Christmas music and Leo has been watching all the Christmas shows and movies he can find on tv.
So hope your Christmas spirit is with you and you are having a very very happy day, Sandra

I enjoy Christmas Day too ! Finally after all that Preparation we can relax a little. When the children were little we sat around and watched them play with their new things. Very often I'd stay in my pj's all day since we went to Christmas Eve services. Now I always go on Christmas Day as there's no one who will complain about leaving their new things. It may be different this year as 2 of my grand'babes' will be here but I think they'll be fine. 'On Ya' - ma
As we gradually get down the list of jobs to be done,Ithink we will enjoy Christmas when its gets here and its all done ...love Jan xx
What a great idea the camera is. As for me I like the preparations and feel sort of let down when it's all over. I have a couple projects I'm saving for after the kings get here so I can still have fun even though it's still winter. The Northern lights the other night were very pretty. I enjoyed reading your news today.
Just finished all the wrapping and I feel great now it is all done. the camera was a great idea a great way to see everybody. Love joan.
Yep the weather certainly plays a part in how Christmasy I feel. Right now it's just too sunny and warm. Rumor has it that there is a change coming next week. Hmmmm, we'll see!
You have a wonderful day!

You got some nice gifts for those kids, Sandra. They are lucky to have you. Sounds like Leo and Gary are really in the mood. That's great. Every day I plan to go to town and get some last minute stuff and "feel the festivities," but still not strong enough. This morning Tom and I spent a half hour looking for my blender but no luck. Someone gave me a recipe for cole slaw dressing; will have to use the food processor instead. I laughed when you said you were going to sing in church on Christmas. Me too, (I don't sing so loud anymore; maybe we could sing together better now.) (Remember the stations on Tuesday night?) Grant is playing the trumpet at Christmas eve mass and then we're gong to Andrea's after for snacks. And Christmas Day Diane and Steve are having everyone over. I just can't get my act together this year. Once I got the fruitcake made, I thought I was on vacation :)
HEY, I NEED SOME NEW PILLOWS. YOU CAN SEND SOME MY WAY. LOL.
GOT A NEW UPDATE IN MY JOURNAL, CHECK IT OUT.
SHAY.
