We're about as ready for Christmas as we can be. Guest room for E & B (and four pawed ball of energy) is ready. Groceries are bought for the new nontraditional Christmas meal - which I won't argue if it became the new tradition for our home. Presents need wrapping - but they are all sitting in our home right now waiting for paper, tape, ribbon, bows, tags, whatever creativity comes out of our thoughts of the recipient of the gift. The stockings will need to hang empty for a few more months, waiting for K to be back.
I've enjoyed planning our Christmas meal. I've enjoying shopping for gifts of special interest for each of our children. I've really enjoyed shopping for one sweet little girl. The joy of being a Grandma! I'm looking forward to preparing our non-traditional food. I'm looking forward to doing it once again in a few months!
Now. The only irritant to deal with this week is getting the dryer fixed. When I've heard about all the furnace replacements that have occurred with family members the last few years, a dryer is not something to destroy the week.
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care". This year I've spent more time on the "with care" and less on the actual "were hung". I quite like this!
