I got off about 3:30 yesterday and go back the day after Christmas. Last night people from my Sunday school class came to sing Christmas carols. I had a few finger foods for them. They fussed because they were trying to do something for me and I turned it around but it was really nice. We go to my Mom's Christmas Eve. Like you Janet it will be a little sad since it is the first year without my step-dad.
On Christmas day, The girls and their families come here. That is if everyone gets well. My son that lives with Mom has been sick along with 2 of Traci's children. Nothing much but you know how careful I have to be. Maybe they will all be well by Monday.

Janet your days off sound so wonderful!! Lucky you!
 Do you enjoy wrapping? I love it! I could wrap presents all day.  I hope the absence of your inlaws are replaced with fond memories to warm your heart and make you smile on Christmas day.

Debbie ~ I hope everyone's sniffles and coughs go away by Christmas so your entire family can be together.
How sweet the Sunday school children came by and sang carols. Darling!!

 I would have come up with the money somehow to fly you here to wrap them for me... I put as many as I could into those Christmas bags with paper. Then the rest I had to actually wrap. The first few I put a bow and some ribbon, after that...they just got a name tag. Maybe if I would wrap them as soon as I bought them, I would be okay, but then I never know if I would have to take it back before Christmas. Next year...you and I are going to have to work something out...

Debbie, having carolers sounds wonderful! I'm so glad they did that for you. Good on you for being well enough to offer them something back though. LOL
I have a totally different attitude about Christmas this year, so am not going all out like I normally would. It's not a bad thing... just different. I see it as my year to shift from being "mom" to "myself" and putting more of the obligations for things on others. The time has come.

How wonderful for you to have carolers...I would love that!! Holidays are hard, especially that first one without a loved family member. Not that it gets better year after year...just a little more tolerable. So, we'll see how it goes. I sure hope all your family members get well quick!!! Please don't take chances we don't want you getting sick.

Debbie, oh how cute. Now you know we need a picture of Chipper in his Santa suit. I tried to find the pictures that I think Angie posted, but for some reason can't find them.
Gina...that does sound yummy! I wasn't going to fix anything special, but I remembered I had a nice seasoned pork loin out in the freezer, so I'm bringing that in to defrost, maybe have some cheesy potatoes and a veggie. Something simple that I don't have to stand over a stove and cook all day. Everyone's Christmas plans sound so wonderful!

My turkey is in the oven. I don't know yet if we'll be able to go to my brothers tonight, but the turkey is thawed, so has to get baked. We will eat turkey either here or there tonight.
I stayed up til nearly 3 am this morning just cleaning and putting up the rest of the decorations I have in the house. It was nice just to have time to myself to work on it at my own speed. I have to admit I'm glad I finally put more Christmas decorations up. I hung stockings for dh and I. I figure the kids can do their own if they want with their S/Os. I plan to give them their stockings as I have no need of keeping them around.
