After watching Elmo's Christmas Countdown for the umpteenth time (not sure if that's a word), I realized that maybe I need my own countdown or check off list. When everything is done, that will be a christmas miracle in itself. This year here is what is on my list...
Buy presents
Wrap presents
mail presents
bake christmas cookies
get a tree
decorate tree
put up lights outside
order christmas cards
address christmas cards
mail christmas cards
clean house
write thank you notes
figure out a christmas dinner
christmas eve service at church
enjoy family at christmas
Some of these things seem obvious (enjoy family) others are not solely my job, I have help, but all said & done, there is a lot that goes with christmas. The part I am looking forward to the most is the family time at christmas. Everything else can get done hopefully before christmas.
this year I actually made christmas cookies. Not a ton because I don't want to eat them all myself, but some to make things festive. I divided them up in to 3 bins and froze them. 1 bin is for actual christmas day, so whatever we do that day, we will have cookies too!
Well, I just ordered the christmas cards, so the next thing to do is pick them up tomorrow. I hope to have them mailed by Saturday.....

Charlita, I love all of you posts. You gotta get me in on the mobile posts.
Good job with the mobile posts! I love all the new updates! Keep them coming!
I'd cross off outside lights this year. 11 days and counting until Christmas, and then you just have to take them all down again! Just do the fun stuff, outside lights are too much work.
