Thanks a lot!! ;-) Our tree isn't going up till dd comes around the 15th. Everything else is up, though. No, my shopping is not done, and I only have one batch of Christmas cookies finished. I'm making fleece pocket blankets for my in-laws, since they moved from FL to MI this summer, and toiletry baskets for all the teachers, youth leaders, etc., but that's all the handcrafting for me this year. Guess I'd better get going! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hi all you quiet people!!! Has everyone got their trees up? just put ours up & put the lights on a few hours ago. I'll put the ornaments on tomorrow when the kids go to school. Haha, I have to have them on there my way! I put all my other Christmas decor out the other day. I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel like Christmas is coming soon. Has everyone got shopping done? We've just got to get some pic frames for the kids school pics to send to relatives & we are done. I always start around March so I don't have to fool with it in December. I made my list of cookies I want to make this year too. I'll make those the week of Christmas so they are fresh for gift-giving. Hope everyone is doing well!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Well aren't you ambitious and organized! <grin> I was going to get out one of my trees, the one I decorate with angels, but then I discovered that one of my Christmas Cactus is flowering... so it went where I was planning to put the tree. LOL ... right inside the front door where it's the first thing I see when I get home from work. My whole downstairs is filled and overflowing with Christmas gift pack assembly items and the whole assortment of soaps and lotions and bath products... so it looks like a messy Christmas! I'm working on getting out or together 3 Secret Santas, lots and lots of family and friends gifts, orders...I have tables set up for each group! As soon as I can get all that out of here, I can think about other gifts and decorating! Hugs, Tree is up Hi all you quiet people!!!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 My tree is up. My husband and I have a party the first Saturday in December so we decorate really early. Shopping is nearly finished. I guess I was a little more organized this year! aenopas ********************* > > Hi all you quiet people!!!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 well i am thinking that my parents and I are the last to put ours up. Well it doesnt help that my sister's tree never got taken down in the first place last spring. she never has visiters and she has been very busy the past year. The decorations and lights got taken off but the (artifical) tree itself stayed up all year. Which well helped her get ready early this year. Maybe now she will have time to put out some of her other decorations that havn't seen daylight in the past few years. My other brothers and sisters all got their trees and put them up already. my parents have theirs but it's just not up yet. Since we got our new doggies in october we are still trying to figure out how they react to things. The one being a male will be interesting to watch and keep an eye on as well he does what male dogs do best, and likes to leave his scent on things. We have only really noticed this once in the house though, Not sure if he has done it other times but we know of once. So as to having a tree inside..... well we just don't know what he is going to do. Knowing us we are thinking he will be like " oh goody look at what my new owners did they brought the tree inside for me to go potty on. now i will never have to go outside to he freezing cold snow. I have short little legs ya know so everything is going to freeze if i go in the snow How nice of them " Our other dog seems to enjoy chewing on things, particularly plastic. We have decided not to put one decoration out already because we have a feeling that they will chew it up. As we also found one of our other dogs starting to nibble on it when she was a puppy years ago. poor little elf. It is safe to say all our decorations will be up pretty high this year. As for me I have just finished all my craft shows for the winter, this past weekend so now i can start with the lights(if it ever warms up again) and my own tree. And yes i still have shopping to do. My mom needs and wants so many things this year that i have no clue as to what to get her. Do i dare get EVERYTHING?? I AM after all the only one in the family that knows and cares to get stuff she actualy needs. while all my other darn siblings just get her junk she could never use, just stuff they happen to find. Of course since i am the youngest with 9 years or more between them and me no one cares to ask for my opinion even though I still live with my parents most of the time so i of course know what they need. Anyways im rambling. But by xmas everything will be done thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
