I was saying that same thing just yesterday.

I hope your birthday was wonderful, Gator Pam!

Me too!

Happy New Year! There's some familiar names on the drop out list. I hope they're all ok and they just got busy.

You're so welcome, I'm glad you liked it!

Let us know what you think of the Creami. I want one, just not sure how much I'd actually use it . My son asked me a couple weeks ago what I wanted for Christmas, and I said "Oh, I don't know, get me a Kit Kat!". So I got a king size Kit Kat bar and a bag of mini kit kats . That gift might mean more to me than anything he's ever gotten me, LOL. I also go a canvas with each of my grands' handprints on it. Love it.

Merry Christmas!

all done. The stockings are hung...

Christmas Eve, my kids and grandkids will come to my house and open gifts. I've tried doing a whole dinner thing that night, but no one is ever really interested and then I just have a big mess to clean up . They will probably leave fairly early, and if they do I will head up to my sister's and we will go drive around looking at lights. Christmas Day, my sisters and I will go to our Mom's. It's a low-key hang out and we'll just have sandwiches and enjoy being together. Some of the kids might drop by at some point during the day. The evening after Christmas, we will be back at Mom's for the whole family dinner. I will make chicken & dumplins and rolls, my sister will make fried chicken, and my other sister will make potatoes. We had a heck of a time trying to schedule that dinner this year. Several years ago, we had decided we would always do it the Saturday after Christmas. This year my nephew's wife's family is renting a cabin for the weekend of New Years, so they can't be there. The older Mom gets, the more important it is to us that every one of her kids and grandkids are there for Christmas, but with the grandkids grown with families of their own, as well as jobs and other responsibilities, that's not always easy. I don't usually do much on New Year's Eve. Sit back in my recliner with a book and a cup of cocoa and flip through the celebrations on the TV .

Every Secret Santa gift has been received! Thank you all SO much for the notifications. We had 2 ornament exchange packages walk away from their recipient after delivery, but those have been made right and replacements should be delivered today or tomorrow. All in all, it's been a successful Secret Santa year thanks to all of you.

Hope you had a happy birthday!!

I received my iPad. It's shiny and new and I love it . Thanks again!!

Am I the only one that gets stressed out trying to find just the right Dirty Santa gift? My office is having our Christmas party next Monday. We will be playing Dirty Santa, with a $25 max limit. What do you find to be the best Dirty Santa/White Elephant gifts? I need some ideas .

pudding for the filling. Back to the store, and while I'm there...

Reinholt1, thank you for the card and the lotto ticket! I didn't win, but it was fun to dream while I scratched off the little snowflakes .

I finally remembered to take pics last night .

OH MY GOSH! Thank you so much, I am so excited!

I hate wrapping, so it gets put off . My sister comes over every year to help me, so we'll get them all knocked out this year on the 18th.

Looks like that is your OE. The tracking # for your SS shows it's available for pickup at the post office .

White Christmas on the TV. But wait! I almost forgot...

OK, that didn't take long. And I'm glad it didn't because some of this is going to come in real handy over the next couple weeks! Wow, I feel so spoiled. I am so excited about the Spurtles! I have some in silicone, but I've always wanted the acacia wood. And that jar opener is one of the coolest kitchen gadgets I've seen (And I LOVE kitchen gadgets!). I'll start my cookie baking next week, so the cooling racks are going to be so useful. I'm looking forward to reading the book and working the puzzles. And of course the peanut clusters and Sonic card will make me very happy . Thank you Santa!

Santa came! I'm debating waiting to open, but that's never worked out when I've tried it before so we shall see, LOL. I also got a really pretty card from Kash. Thank you, it made me smile .

Most disliked. But that's why he's...

Just over half our Santas have shipped, and most of our Ornaments. If you aren't going to be able to ship by tomorrow, please let me know. Also - Please don't forget to let us know when you receive your package, even if you aren't planning to open yet.
