Looked frantically with help from kids on and off for an hour before I recalled where I'd hidden it. Wow. Then started opening a present with my name on it, and started thinking it looked familiar. And hey, it was my handwriting on the tag. I wrote my own name on the tag instead of putting to my dh. Screwup number 2! Then discovered I'd written the same grandson's name on both gifts I'd wrapped for my daughter and had to open one and peek to be make sure which one was which...I'm totally losing it! And soooo glad my responsibilities are over!KylieBranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521116390801346909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-22309693700841693392008-12-25T14:52:00.000-06:002008-12-25T14:52:00.000-06:00The happies of holidays to all!The happies of holidays to all!catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-91047225553759826122008-12-25T13:59:00.000-06:002008-12-25T13:59:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas to all!Merry Christmas to all!Estellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199693275287344161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-67755556666498559132008-12-25T12:06:00.000-06:002008-12-25T12:06:00.000-06:00Santa brought me a new vacuum cleaner.

He also brought me a spa day at the Westin's Heavenly Spa -- massage, facial, mani and pedi. I love Santa! I also got about $70 in gift cards from Books-a-Million. Yeehaw! My sister gave me a pewter paperweight with the inscription "Most things are difficult before they are easy," which she said should be my mantra for getting my NaNoWriMo book finished and editted and ready to submit.<BR/><BR/>No hiccups -- yet. I still have to roast the turkey.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to all!<BR/><BR/>MarilynPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-82673787297676950642008-12-25T09:15:00.000-06:002008-12-25T09:15:00.000-06:00We opened presents last night, as we've always don...We opened presents last night, as we've always done, after a meal of roast and dumplings and creamed corn. Great surprise to see The Girl's face, after she'd told me she wanted those ugly boots at Target, to see as she opened up real Uggs. The Boy got clothes, but that's what he needed. And I got $100 GC to Amazon! You all know what I'll be doing today--after I clean the house AGAIN, for the next round of visitors tonight. In-laws are coming and staying until Tuesday.Michele Haufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255612473985897103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1205147454031251072008-12-25T09:04:00.000-06:002008-12-25T09:04:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas To All!!Merry Christmas To All!!Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363922982973526678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-65159688361303142312008-12-25T08:48:00.000-06:002008-12-25T08:48:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas, christie-- and EVERYBODY!The only...Merry Christmas, christie-- and EVERYBODY!<BR/><BR/>The only hiccup so far has been my using a dark cookie sheet for one of my rounds of making Peanut Blossom cookies. Some of the cookies now have dark bottoms. I'm getting rid of that @#$%^*! cookie sheet!<BR/><BR/>The visit with the fiance's kids is going well. . . shopping was actually fun yesterday! Aafter a great Christmast dinner with the wider family this afternoon, we're going to the movie to see "Bedtime Stories." (We have a young one in our midst!)<BR/><BR/>Last night we did the Advent Wreath and devotions. . . then had some quiet time for meditation and prayers for those we love. It was a lovely time. . . maybe our last Christmas together for some time. In January, the fiance's son is off to the Navy!<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes-- and Christie, I envy you your perguins! They're wonderful!Betina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.com
