Now that we're empty nesters, the Christmas tree looks funny with just few presents under it.

With all the rain, thunderstorms, and warm temps today, it's more like spring than Christmas. :lol:

If you had gotten our cold front you could have had thunder ice like we did. It was pretty neat. The only thing better is if it had come on Christmas Eve. :snowink: :flake:

I wish we would get some winter weather for Christmas. Right now they are forecasting mid 60's for the high on the 25th.

Hard to believe this time next week we'll be enjoying our Christmas Eve celebration. :scene:

I don't know what's wrong with me this year. I am enjoying everything Christmas so much. But I have absolutely no desire to wrap anything. :treehat:

I'm watching Elf :elf: , posting on my favorite Christmas forum, and wrapping gifts. :santagifts:

Several years ago I discovered those clear plastic 'paint' cans that have Christmas designs on them. I love them. They're perfect for small gifts, cash or gift cards. And they look great under the tree. :treeswave:

I just realized that I've not watched Polar Express yet. It's a Christmas fave! :carolbells:
