OK, so it's not a list of what I want, it's a list of what I have to do....

Make fudge - CHECK

make Hershey kiss cookies CHECK (Kt and Em)

put together platters - for T's work and school CHECK
Set up for teacher cookie break CHECK
FINISH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING - CHECK!!!

OK, so I have a way long way to go! I'm just happy I got the fudge made, even if it is the easiest thing on my list! ;-)

Merry Christmassing!

(Em has joined in the fun. Is it just me, or is my new phone not such as great a camera as my old one!?)

I also just received my last Christmas delivery, so I'm done (at least until I remember the one gift I forgot!)!!

It's always a lot at Christmas, and truthfully I'd rather have a list of good things to do than really awful things. I'm just glad I'm half way there, even with the birthday in there for good measure.;-)

Impressive! If I had to do all that, I would probably just fall to pieces. There's a whole lot of baking on that list. Knowing me, I'd end up going to BJ's or the market and buying goodies instead!

here's my list...
1) START Christmas shopping Friday
2) Clean entire house for 3 consecutive nights of dinner paries
3) Figure out what I am going to feed all these people, go buy it, and cook it
4) Do Christmas cards and mail in the next 2 days

Basically, I'm sunk.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

ps...can I just say that when we lived in the States, all my shopping was done by the end of November, and evertyhing was wrapped and under the tree the day we brought that baby back from Home Depot???

Oh, Megan, can you order pizza? and give gift cards??? We used to get our tree at Home Depot as well but I never have had all my shopping done by Thanksgiving - WOW!! I'm impressed!
