Hi chicks, thought I'd get this started since I was up. I doubt I'll have a chance to check in in the morning! I got enough stuff done today, and I am ready for bed, but I drank a cup of coffee after dinner so I wouldn't go to sleep too early, and it hasn't worn off yet. Let's face it, Christmas won't be ruined if DH's present isn't wrapped or I didn't get the second batch of truffles made!
We visited my grandmother in the afternoon and took her cookies and some other food. My grandfather died on Christmas eve in 1979, and Christmas has been hard for her ever since, understandably. She was invited to my mom's for dinner, but decided to stay in, and I was worried about her being alone and sad. Then we had a nice dinner at home and watched Elf and It's a Wonderful Life. The kids checked Santa's progress on NORAD, and decided they'd better get to bed, but it took a while for them to go to sleep. Anyway, now Santa has been, and it's all downhill from here. By the way, DH fell asleep and I got to do it all!
Anyway, I just wanted to say that definitely one of my best presents this year is all the new friends I found at 3fc, and I'm so grateful for all the help, support, and advice! Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope every one of you has a wonderful day tomorrow with the people you love.
