...and checking it over and over. As my dear Vann used to say, I've been as busy as a cat covering up for ten. Shopping, baking, decorating, etc. Haven't got nearly as much accomplished as I should have in the time I've been at it, but my back and fibro have slowed me down considerably.
Today, I'm trying to get thing organized (including my brain), figure out what else I need to do. I have a little more shopping to do, mostly groceries for Soup & Salad Night here with family on Christmas Eve. I'm making a big pot of Santa Fe Soup (some people call it Taco Soup), pasta salad, and some homemade bread. I have three pies in the freezer and will probably make a pan of brownies too.
We have a quiet Christmas Day planned--just me, Andy, and Jesse and a big baked ham.
And when all is said an done, I'm planning a week in bed. That plan probably won't pan out, but it's comforting thinking about it.

Bless you as you carry on lovingly cook, bake, decorate, and enjoy the wonderful time with your family. I hope the fibro and back annoyances settle down so you can really have fun.
We, too, plan a quiet Christmas since this is the first without sweet AMIL. I have a little pillow made by Mary Englebreit that says "Remembrance, like a candle, burns brightest at Christmastime." So true.
It's a cold, rainy day here. Just right for soup, hot tea, and Mannheim Steamroller Christmas music. Last night we watched the Albert Finney "Scrooge" and that is joyful, indeed.
The tardy Christmas package is "out for delivery" in Memphis according to it's tracking information. After a heart-stopping 6 day sojourn to Maryland, perhaps it will really arrive today.
Hugs!

Merry Christmas Susan. I have enjoyed your blog all year, feels like corresponding with a long-time friend. Your holiday plans sound great. We will be driving a long distance to Dallas for Christmas, but meeting up with family coming in from CA. Should be very special.And when we return, maybe that "week in bed" will happen; sounds good.
