It's Christmas!!!!! I'm off to put the final touches to the table before everyone arrives. Thoroughly enjoy your day one and all. Lots of love and hugs to everyone!!!
Enjoy the day everyone. Just checking in to see everything is up and running. Some presents have already been opened, happy faces all round!
With the time difference, it's still 6:50 am here on the east coast of the states. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
6:00am in French Settlement Merry Christmas everyone. DD's have got their presents and Sharon will be up shortly cooking. Me, I am trimg to stop thinking about a poem that is scratching on my mind's door wanting out and and a nibbler and basil and lucky scratchung at the front door to go out.
9:08 in New Orleans. Ursula has been out and has had breakfast. She also felt the overwhelming need to go outside and have a magnificent run this morning at 2:18. Somehow I get night duty. We are ready for the boy, his wife and their munchkin later today.
Yayyyy the sooner its over the better.I'm up and running .I finally got to bed at 3:10 and Oreo found a buger at 3:20 am and what ever it was it sound like it tore my vent up.Still don't know what it was. I'm off to get everything working. Merry Christmas to you all.
Wow what a day its been - we've reached the "time to eat something healthy for dinner because we've been eating junk all day" phase, all presents are being most thoroughly played with. Hope it's been a wonderful one for all of you!
We've had a busy, but fun couple of days. Friends came for Christmas dinner, :-D it was a real pleasure, very low key. That's about all I'm up to any more, entertainment-wise.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is over, decorations come down today. Now I can start my annual "things I will do differently next year" list.....the one that I make then promptly lose and come next December don't remember what I wrote on it until I am in the middle of the mad rush and think, I have got to remember not to do this again next year.
Same here toni .Always plan on starting my shopping early but last week before Christmas I'm in a mad rush.
Our decorations stay up until after New Year and by then I am mad keen to take them down and get my house back to normal. I always sneeze when I pack them away as dust flies everywhere!!
Mine will probably stay up until New Years too. Too many other things to do this week and we still have a Christmas dinner with my husbands family on Saturday (2 hours away) and friends coming on New Years Eve and an all night lockin for the youth at church on New Years Eve. I will go to it after our friends go home.
I take ours down gradually, a little each day to 'fade out' the holiday, or it seems too jarring to me. The lights go last, I love them.
