Roll call on a quite night

Is every one mellowing out for Christmas turkey??? Who still has shopping to do??? Who is ready as their ever will be. What are you looking forward to the most. I'm ready and can't wait to see the grand kids on their new swing sets Nana and Papa got them.......... oh what fun.. Happy Holidays, my WLS friends... tina

My turkey is thawing as we speak. Took it out of the freezer last Saturday. My shopping is finished. I am about as ready as I get. Christmas is not my favorite time of the year.

I love the holidays!!! I am going grocery shopping tomorrow for the last things. I need a few stocking stuffers, a couple toys for some children down the street that haven't much Christmas and I will be done. I love it all. Happy holidays. May all your wishes come true for the new year. Carol

I'm done, done, done! My last ebay purchase FINALLY came in the mail yesterday and it is wrapped and under the tree. I did my baking today and seperated what goes to Nana and Papa's house form what stays home for christmas morning. I will have to run by Wal-Mart on xmas eve morning on the way to my parents but other than that... finished! Whew! Sally

Tonight I am dealing with a bout of insomnia so I must be stressed about something, wish I knew what it was . I have been up since 2am, but have done a load of laundry, wrapped packages and cleaned out the car. So at least I was somewhat productive. Regarding the holidays, I need to finish wrapping, then I am done. I started shopping earlier this year, so I actually can relax these last few days. We celebrate on Christmas Eve and Chrsitmas day is just a day for noshing and relaxing after brunch. I wont be doing any cooking since I go to my parents and they have everything taken care of this year. We always have Honey Baked Ham and lots of side dishes. I'm in charge of picking up salad and bread sticks from Olive Garden so my neice gets one of her favorites (breadsticks) so I suggested to my mom that I get salad there for our big meal. I wont be able to have any breadsticks this year , but I will enjoy the garlicky smell and have some salad and ham. So for me, it's been an easy holiday season, except for stress at work and trying to get things wrapped up so I could take nearly two weeks off. Have a wonderful holiday, Tina! Amy
