\n<\/div>\n

A day of semi-frantic Christmas prep activity. <\/p>\n

Got done:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nGot the stockings hung (with great care). Got the Advent Calendar hung (and filled in for the days we were late).<\/li>\n
  2. \nFound last year’s list of gifts given; created a cleared list to start inserting items.<\/li>\n
  3. \nSifted through last year’s “got a card\/gave a card” list. Built this year’s list.<\/li>\n
  4. \nListened to Christmas Carols in the background.<\/li>\n
  5. \nOrdered Christmas stamps online.<\/li>\n
  6. \nFinished this year’s Christmas Letter (more about anon). <\/li>\n
  7. \nPrinted the Christmas Letter.<\/li>\n
  8. \nRubber stamped the Christmas Letter (Katherine did this!)<\/li>\n
  9. \nDug through the loft for the paper cutter.<\/li>\n
  10. \nFinished the Twelfth Night invites.<\/li>\n
  11. \nPrinted the Twelfth Night invites. Stamped (Katherine again!). Cut. Folded (with Katherine).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Still to do (Real Soon Now):<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \nGet new transparent label stock (Avery 5660).<\/li>\n
    2. \nReceive Christmas stamps (by Friday).<\/li>\n
    3. \nPrint address labels and return labels.<\/li>\n
    4. \nWrite Christmas cards. Insert into envelopes. Figure out how to fit Christmas Letters and\/or Twelfth Night invites into little cards we bought.\n<\/li>\n
    5. \nStamp cards. Send.<\/li>\n
    6. \nFinish going through catalogs. Determine gifts.<\/li>\n
    7. \nOrder gifts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Whew. Is that all? Looking good!<\/p>\n

      Note for next year: out of paper for the Christmas Letter and Invites. Doublecheck label stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
