Sounds like you all have so much fun at Christmas. Everything is spread out and enjoyable. I'm already getting the shakes and bad case of the nerves and we're not even doing much. I don't know why I let myself get so worked up. On Sunday evening when we go to my Mother's, I always get so nervous and half sick to my stomach. My younger brother's wife is a real 'b*t** and I can't stand her. She always has some smart a$$ thing to say and I've already decided that she is not going to say anything to upset my mom like she did on Thanksgiving. My older brother, well, he likes to tease, but he just doesn't do it very well and feelings get hurt. Someone will end up crying...happens every year. Totally sucks! Christmas Day is what I actually look forward to. We get up and open our gifts. I love watching my son open his...even at this age. He is always totally surprised, I can't wait. Usually by 9 or 9:30 Mom takes off to go to my older brothers house for dinner and stays most of the day with them. We have the rest of the day to ourselves. Just don't think I'm going to fix much. We'll just snack, take it easy and play around with our gifts. Your family Diana sounds so warm and loving....I wish we had that so very bad.

Janet it is sad the first few years without our loved ones. You sound like you have it all together. Debbie that was so nice of your friends to do that. How nice is that.
As for myself the count down begins lol , I am showing two houses this weekend. I finished shopping and wrapping. I am in the middle of cleaning. I am having the Christmas Eve dinner about 20 people from my side are coming. We italians on this night make fish dinner, so I am making lots of shrimps, filet, and a ham for those who don't eat the fish, plus a white clam sauce with spagetti, and lots of side dishes. My SIL is helping make me make some trays to, if you remember I helped her on Thanksgiving. I baked two batches of cookies thats it. Don't have time to bake all my cookies. My company will bring lots of dessert. Christmas Day I go to my inlaws, My MIL also passed away a few years ago so its different there. But my BIL is having all his family over so there is a big crowd of about 30. Everyone seems to have it all under control... ![]() Last edited by Gina; 12-22-2007 at 02:03 PM. |

Gina, an Italian Christmas meal sounds like it would be very good. We always have a traditional meal but that sounds really yummy!!! It sounds like you have everything under control. I'm still getting there!!!
