Brownies are faeries that are attached to household or family and work so to help them. They are friendly and hardworking, and are usually hairy and naked. See how well a Brownie would fit in at your place? ;-) But since you're a Pixie, you probably already knew about Brownies.

I haven't wrapped any gifts yet so I'm going to be up really late tonight. About the only thing I got ready on time was sending William's Package out and I sent it November 16th so he got it too early and opened it already. I always make tons of to do lists but magically they disappear or I find myself writing all new ones. I have to keep a pen and paper near my bed for all of those things I remember just as I am trying to fall asleep. As if I get them done though.....I hope you all have a merry christmas.

It's my last thing to do to be ready but I really don't want to do it because it's really messy and I always burn my hands!

So I guess maybe I'll wrap them when I get home tonight around 7ish. Hopefully before Mr. Glitter gets home. Sigh.

C'mon over to the Mellow Thread. I'll fuss over you, and bring you Nyquil and cough drops, and if all else fails bring you the beverage of your choice and keep the refills coming until you no longer notice that you're sick. ;-)

Originally Posted By FaMulan This doesn't speak to Christmas Preparation, but this evening when my husband was looking through his wallet he found gift cards he got last year that he hasn't used yet!

The decoration stuff that's out I'll put away just before New Year's because I have some of my Hanukkah stuff at work as part of our all-inclusive holiday decorations.
