Originally Posted By melekalikimaka I've gotten one layer of the peppermint bark melted. I nuked it so it took approximately 3 minutes from bag of chips, to melted, to in the pan. That's all I've done in the 4.5 hours since I last posted. Except for that nap I took. That was nice.

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Ah, the wii strikes another victim. LOL. Good luck, smed. You deserved some downtime, though.

Just remembered I have a bunch of presents to wrap so that my daughter will have presents to choose from tomorrow night. And I just realized that I forgot to buy Tobasco and celery stalks for the Xmas Morning Bloody Marys. Bloody Marys that I'm not even sure I'll be able to drink because of my lovely cold. Wheee, another trip to the store.
Originally Posted By smedley Ooooh me too, and I recommend the bloody mary even with the cold, it's bound to help I'll certainly be having the champagne at Christmas dinner lol!

Next year will be our first Christmas in Georgia - that ought to be fun. ;>

Originally Posted By threeundertwo Finished everything, just need to cook the goose and all the trimmings. That's a fun day ahead for me. The kids are catching up on all the Christmas movies they haven't watched yet. I guess I don't really belong in this thread. . .

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter So here we are once again. Only eleven more preparation days until Christmas. The one area I seem to consistently be ahead of the game on is stocking stuffers.

Tonight, however, it dawned on me that I am woefully lacking in the stocking stuffer department. Really, really lacking. Being me, rather than racing out to a 24-hour department store to purchase stocking stuffers, I've opted to dig through the LP archives to find this old thread. My name is Pixie, and I am a Christmas preparation avoider.
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Okay, I just reread this entire thread. I am in WAY better shape, Christmas preparation wise, this year than I have been at this time for the last several years. Suddenly I'm feeling much more on top of things. Ahead of the game, even. I should reward myself with several days of reading, long bubble baths, and the occasional nap. That way I can be in here, shrieking in panic and swearing to never ever ever procrastinate again, along about December 23. Let's face it. . . . that *is* one of my holiday traditions now.
