Yesterday afternoon I finished shopping...I hope I finished and today I'm planning on wrapping everything. I'm gonna clean the house..nothing too much, just dust and sweep. Sunday night we go to my mother's house.

Then Monday night, we use to get with my in-laws, but of course they are no longer here and this year will be so sad without them. So we will probably be here at home. Later in the evening my mom comes out to spend the night with us and then we open gifts Christmas morning. No one really likes a big meal on Christmas...just snacking so I have no cooking to do. Mom will go to my brother's house after opening her gifts and then eat dinner and spend the rest of the day with them.

Won't be long ladies and it will all be over.

Janet, it sounds like you have everthing about ready for Christmas. Good for you!!! I'm getting there. I

It's sad how life changes from year to year. My Mom and Step Dad are only here every once in a while for Christmas because my Step Dad's family is usually at their house. For the past several years I've just gone ahead and had the Thanksgiving and Christmas meal and if my Mom comes, she comes.

It won't be OVER for a while for us. I have my husband's family all over for Christmas on the 29th (my husband's birthday too). We'll have around 50 or so here that day. Then on Jan. 5th I'll be having my family over, but I have a much smaller family so it won't be too bad.

We also have Christmas Eve at one of my husband's aunts. We go there every year because it just doesn't seem like Christmas for my husband if we don't go. Then on Christmas day we just have the kids and their families.
