Jealous! I am...not done.

I'm always determined to get things done before the rush but it was definitely a trial this year. Good luck to you!

What a great effort. Well done with everything. I've had a very productive day myself seeing I'm home alone. Figured out how to print my new labels for Xmas card envelopes. Designed about 6 cards to send to QaF/Adam friends and got them printed and stamped. Stuck all the labels and stamps on 30 Xmas cards to send. Our post office ran out of Xmas stamps and my printer was playing up so had to make a rush trip into town. I'm only sending 3 cards overseas this year as our postage has almost doubled. It now cost $2.50 for one card overseas, previously $1.70 last year. I have yet to put up my tree. Have a story due on Saturday so trying to do as much of that as possible before I do.

Found red napkins at a bargain price in town. My daughter wanted some for our Xmas table. Son and his partner and my daughter are arriving on Sunday. Looking forward to that. David is cooking our Xmas lunch. Have bought some presents but need to make a list. The weekend is looking good for shopping or maybe this Friday.

Thank you! My hand cramped up from the writing but small sacrifice once a year, right?

hahaha I laugh because we haven't even started. So it's more hahahahSOB.

Anyway. It makes me so sad for you that you don't go to a big tree farm and cut down a tree! We go to this place and hike up this hill and cut down a tree and drag it back down and then hook it up to a tree pully thing to get it down the hill and it's SO MUCH FUN. Eric said about just buying a precut one the other year and I was like NO, GET OUT.

Haha, omg. Time is going by SO FAST. Like, Christmas is next week. I can't believe it.

What's a tree farm?! Haha. I don't think we have any of those in Southern California, at least. Northern is probably different. I've always wanted to do that! We just don't have pretty and ideal winters and people have to cut down our trees for us. I think the majority are from Oregon. Mine was, anyway. It's a LONG WAY to Oregon, okay?! I totally would if I could so that sounds very awesome to me.
