Genko, as always, lovely pictures!

Thanks for reinforcing the fact that I don't have to put the tree and all the ornaments up in one fell swoop. This year I took three days!

I cut out sending cards a few years back- oh what freedom!! oh what a relief that was!!! I dont do the Christmas baking stuff.

I cook dinner but we keep it simple and my sister helps

and i just decided to focus on the  reason for the season- Jesus , and not get all spazed out about the details

now if i can get some saliva going i will be a very happy camper!!!

blessings to all

Divingdancer, your christmas sounds wonderful. Have done that one a few times in the past. Even the kids loved it.
This year we are staying home. Not cooking. WIll have turkey sandwhiches and some snack foods , etc. People are coming during the day to visit. But all know we are not cooking and they will all be full from their other family dinners anyway. So it is gonna be a nice day. Not as relaxing as yours. but at least im not cooking and cleaning..
