We went to dd's Christmas party at her school this morning. Hubby played Santa for the kids and he did such a great job. They were all so happy! :santadance:

We have Christmas dinner and a gift exchange with our friends tonight. I'm getting pretty tired from being so busy, but I'm loving every minute of it. :scene:

Right now I'm listening to some great Christmas music courtesy of an awesome Christmas music loving friend. :smilecc:

I picked up some stocking stuffers today after work. I love picking out those almost more than the actual gifts. :shop:

Last night, very late, a sweet widowed neighbor brought over a special plate of Christmas goodies just for me! How surprised and delighted I was and the family has their own platter! What a JOY she is to all! Just had to share what sweet Jo did for Christmas! :smilecc:

I absolutely love the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. That piano just puts me in a great, calm mood. C

It just wouldn't be Christmas without chocolate covered peanut butter balls and fudge.

I was building a lamp today with my father out of an old whiskey bottle. It is going to be a Present for a good friend of mine. I can't wait to see it when I finish it tomorrow. :santa:

Classic: kids do not think Christmas comes soon enough and adults need more time to prepare. I am thinking of starting christmas prep in November especially if I have a job next year. Then you can actually enjoy december without being stressed.

Jennifer, it is sometimes hard to find a moment to take a breathe and just enjoy the season without distraction.

Thanks. I am torn between wanting to be home to enjoy the Christmas holidays and needing to be at work. As a temporary employee I am trying to stay in control of the workload to make a good impression in order to keep a job. :gbhouse:

We had a great time at our Christmas party with our friends last night. We had a delicious supper then a gift exchange. :smilecc:

I'm having a real hard time feeling Christmasy this year. I know that the weather is alot of it. Temps are too warm and all we get is rain every few days. We have no chance of a White Christmas this year. :flake:
