All Secret Santa gifts AND ornament exchanges have been received! Thank you all so much, I hope you had as much fun this year as I did. I'm going to go ahead and post the lists now, in case I don't have time to get back in here on Christmas day. I hope you all have a very Happy Holiday season! A HUGE thank you to Gatorburg and BFAddict716!

I love that sweater paper!

I bought the deer! I had told myself if they still had them after Christmas when they are half off, I could have one. And just for grins, I checked to see if they still had any, figuring they were sold out. They have ONE left at my local store. And it’s already marked half off! I’m gonna have to move a chair out of the living room next year, and my dog is going to HATE him. But I bought the deer!

Tracking update - All ornament exchanges have been received. YAY! We have 2 SS still out. I only have a tracking # for 1 of them, but I'm confident the other one has been shipped. The one I have a tracking # for is still working its way through the postal system. Fingers crossed both of these arrive before Christmas! I'll keep an eye on them.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Santa came! And I am not one to wait. LOL. First, my ornaments. They could not be more perfect! I love them so much and I can't wait to dig into the cocoa packets you so thoughtfully included! From Santa, I've been all set up to pamper myself while I enjoy that cocoa. I got a tumbler, a relaxation mask, a scented candle, some bath salts and a bath fizzy, a bath soap, and some fuzzy socks for if I ever get out of the tub! Y'all have spoiled me, and I am so grateful. Thank you both so so much!

My cat used to sleep under the tree. She never messed with it, or knocked anything over like all the horror stories you hear. She just liked to curl up under there in her safe little cocoon. I used to wonder if SHE wondered why the tree wasn't there all year .

I have heard from everyone that their packages have shipped or will be shipped soon. Now, hopefully USPS, UPS, and FedEx do their jobs correctly and there are no porch pirate issues this year! As always, please be sure to let me know when you receive your package, even if you aren't planning to open until Christmas.

Thank you so so much!

I love B&BW candles. A few weeks ago, they had a pretty good sale and I had a 25% coupon which brought them down to candle sale prices. So I stocked up then to avoid the sale crowd :). I believe this coming weekend is the big body care sale, so I will go stock up on shower gel and pick up a few last minute gifts.

I don't do much outside. Just the porch. So here, in order, are: hallway, office, Living Room, LR, LR, LR, LR, kitchen, kitchen, kitchen, bathroom, bathroom (pano), porch. There are greenery and lights in the TV stand and under the A Frame shelf, but for some reason the dog is terrified of them. It was a long process to figure out which lights in the living room were chasing him outside but I think we are finally in a place he can stay inside and I can turn on my Christmas lights .

I've had that in my wish list for a long time now. I saw the price drop, but couldn't swing it. If only it will drop again after I get Christmas paid off :).

Remember, Monday is the shipping deadline. If you aren't going to be able to ship by then, please let me know. Also, please remember to post here when you receive your package, even if you are waiting to open.
