Accomplished

  • All packages mailed. The final two went last night, guaranteed, for an arm and a leg, to be delivered on Christmas Eve.
  • Most of the Christmas cards sent. A grand accomplishment considering that we ordered them only 10 days ago and had no Christmas letter as of Sunday 6 pm.
  • Laundry.
  • All Christmas shopping. Thanks in large part to Amazon and their free trial period of Amazon Prime Shipping.
  • Groceries at Costco. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I was in and out in 1/2 hour.
  • Teacher gifts
Still left to do:
  • Trip to regular grocery store. I get to go to MJ's winter party this afternoon and so she and I will head to the store and get all we need for Christmas morning pecan sticky buns and quiche, the turkey brine, plus the new recipe I am trying for Christmas dessert.
  • Pick up the house tonight in preparation for my wonderful cleaning ladies tomorrow. Yippee! It just happened that they were scheduled to come two days before Christmas, which also just happens to be my birthday. I often pined for a Mother's Day or birthday gift where my whole house would be clean at once. Here, I have it!
  • Some present wrapping

And I won't mention things that didn't make the list at all this year. But, all in all, pretty good.
