It's officially Christmas Eve. Blogger post times are based on PST, but here in the Midwest it's 12:01 AM on December 24th, so Christmas Eve is NOW.
I still have much to accomplish before we leave home for the weekend to go to the place I called home for 22 years (and still call home).
I mailed out all of the Christmas cards. The picture turned out pretty good and I've gotten some nice feedback from a few people.
In spite of the humidity I was able to make three batches of toffee to give as gifts to friends. I'll still need to make two more batches after Christmas, but life will be a little bit less hectic then, and hopefully less humid.
As far as gifts go, if I haven't bought it by now, you aren't getting it, at least not for Christmas 2011. G and M were troopers this evening and helped by wrapping a lot of presents. Without their help I would probably end up trying to wrap presents in the back of the Suburban on the ride to Decatur.
M's visit to her gastro doctor and G's colonoscopy are behind us (no pun intended) and thankfully both events were uneventful. M discovered a chip in one of her front teeth so she made a quick trip to the dentist this afternoon. I was glad that she was confident enough to handle that on her own -- both setting up the appointment and seeing the dentist. Yay for steps toward maturity and adulthood!
So, I still have a few presents to tissue and put in gift bags and I better get moving. In the morning I'll need to pack my duffle bag and make myself crazy worrying whether or not I forgot to buy/wrap/pack someone's present.
Merry Christmas!
