With my Christmas shopping, that is? No, not done, but done with everything that we need to mail. Yay!!! The fact that that only includes three families does not diminish my joy. I still have tons to do, but mostly this is going to be an Internet shopping year. Moving on December 20th means all our presents need to be at their destination when we get there. No way am I going to waste valuable suitcase space on presents, if I can help it. So, Gramma Sharon & Papa Ray and David & Family in California, and Adam & Family in Denmark, your gifts will be at the post office tomorrow. Everyone else, I'm working on it!
What if Christmas didn't require giving gifts? Would it still feel the same? In a word, no. But that's not necessarily bad, just different. I have to think that Christmas would still be a wonderful, peaceful holiday. Maybe more like Thanksgiving, all about family and friends celebrating together. I love having a reason to get gifts for people, but that does overwhelm the day. What I am really looking forward to this year is being with family and watching my kids enjoy themselves. 25 days 'til Christmas, people! Happy Holidays!

Sounds like you are really well organised for Christmas. Unlike myself. Congratulations.
oh I am jealous. I usually am done before thanksgiving and this year I haven't done a thing!!!
You are absolutely right...it really should be all about family, but it's so easy to fall into the trap of "GIVE ME". And I, too, am jealous of you having gotten at least something done!!
Congrats on getting everything mailed. I'm sending my last batch of stuff to my mom's house on Monday.
Well said and I need to you organize my Christmas for me.
