Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Does it count that our office also has NO decorations this year. I usually put up a couple of little trees, some lights and stuff but this year so far zero.

Yesterday my mom and sister told me that they are making cookies for Christmas eve so my "kids" will end up having their traditional homemade cookies afterall YAY!! Check that one off my list in my brain.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 OK, I admit that I did wrap some gifts. I had to start as we went to DS#2's house yesterday and gave them their gifts as they won't be coming on Christmsas The other few wrapped gifts are piled on a big chair near the tree because I can't find the "tree skirt." Still no ornaments on the tree. BTW I'm LOVING those boxes from Costco. They look adorable and all they take is a swish of tissue paper, plunk in the gift and a "how cute is that?" instant package. I wish stuff like that was still left and went on sale after Christmas.
