I don’t know about you, but I’ve finished my Christmas shopping! Well, at least for those I have to mail. The final person I shop for this time of year is my husband because I don’t have to mail the items. Now all I have to do is figure out what I plan to purchase … where is that list he said he made?

I also had one party at my house and attended two others. Since I had guests I needed to finish decorating before the party. I haven’t FULLY decorated the house for a couple of years. Why, you ask? We spent Christmas with our son and his family who live out of state so I did minimal decorating at my house.

The good news about decorating this year — I’ve pared down to one tree. I used to decorate two. So I sorted through the ornaments and tree toppers. I have the extras in my car ready to make a trip to Good Will to donate for someone who doesn’t have anything. I feel so much better!
