Well, it's December 21st, and here's my before Christmas to-do list:
1. Finish buying/wrapping/preparing Christmas gifts.
2. Cookies
3. Sort and deliver a (literal) truckload of donations to a homeless shelter. Whose idea was it to organize a church clothing/food drive a week before Christmas? Oh yeah--mine.
4. Get prints made of the family pictures from the wedding, frame them, and send them with the...
5. ...Christmas cards.
6. Clean the house so that we can have people over on Saturday.
7. Buy groceries so that we can feed the people we're having over on Saturday.
So, basically, everything. I'd have "buy and trim a tree" on this list, too, but I think it's sort of pointless now. We got the lights on the outside of the house, anyway. That'll have to be good enough for this year...or maybe I'll grab a mini-tree at Target so we have something to put the gifts under.
The best part is, I'm out of vacation and sick time, so all of this has to be done after 6 pm or on Christmas eve. (Wisconsin family, I think it's safe to say that your gifts are going to be late this year.)
