Tell me...
I put lights on the same tree twice today. Then decorated that tree, and another one. Put garland and lights on the stair rail, hung wreaths, went to wal-mart , went to Kohl's, went to Sonic. Decorated some more, made lemoncello, cooked dinner, boxed up ornament. I don't even know what freakin' day it is, and it's still a while til Christmas, right?

Yes dear, but you know how time flies. I am almost finished decorating, but I have NOT bought the first gift, NOT EVEN ONE. HELP!!!!

Wish I could...but I'm all about savin' myself at this point!! JK!! I have bought a couple of small gifts and one big gift for Jackson, but that's about it. I'll be one of those peeps out at 6 pm on Christmas Eve at CVS!!

Same here, minus the lights. That's MAN-gos yob and it takes him all day. Tomorrow I have to work on the second tree. I went to Kohls the other night. If anyone gets back there, I highly recommend the Kohls Holiday tradition candle Apple Pie. The best smelling candle I ever have gotten.

OOOH gull, better let your fingers do the walking.

I would if I knew where to point them. I am having a mental block on gift giving this year. But it will get done, I hope.

Does Mr. Dbuck have a golf scope? I have one in my attic. Matter of fact, I have a bunch of wrapped and unwrapped gifts up there. I probably didn't even need to shop this year, or I should just have an auction.

Yes, he has one, that he doesn't use. Sounds like you need to put some things on ebay or ReGift. ;-)

Nah, they come in handy sometimes. There's always someone I forget or am trying to forget. So I can always just go up in the attic and grab a well thought out gift.

Mrs. BB and I did that when we moved from a snowy state to Florida...let the movers pack the stupid bright orange, overweight snow blower. It sat in the garage for a couple years down in FL and we kept trying to invent uses for it...

Sand blower
Oversize newspaper shredder
Salad shooter (try tossing a head of lettuce in front of one)

Thanks for this tip...I love good candles. I'm sure I'll be back at Kohl's soon....

My friend Jamie has a closet he keeps re-gifts in--had one built special in his new house...he did finally realize he needed to label each one with the original giver's name so he wouldn't give it back to them 3 years later.

Congratulations! I hope to work on mine tonight. Just getting up some Christmas decs and now must clean up the mess. I am also making a Marine scrapbook for my dad for Christmas. So much to do, so little time!

Finished!!! Merry Christmas dear SoWaller!

It is small but filled with good intentions. The first ornament I made was a diaster....things do not turn out like the picture . It will be mailed tomorrow.
