Yes, it’s that time once again to be angsting about Christmas Preparations!<\/em><\/p>\n

Although, to be honest, we are massively ahead of the game, vs. last year.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Christmas lists<\/strong>:  I updated my Amazon list a while back, and did the same for Katherine.<\/li>\n
  2. Christmas decor<\/strong>:  This all went up Thanksgiving weekend, thanks to the help and encouragement of Jim & Ginger.  Though, having now gotten a glimpse at their Christmas decor challenges, I realize we’re chump change in comparison.<\/li>\n
  3. Christmas cards<\/strong>:  Got those all written off and mostly mailed before last weekend, and the last batch went out yesterday.  At this point, the only mailing I anticipate doing is filling in for folks who send us cards whom we didn’t (two today, dagnabbit).<\/li>\n
  4. Christmas gifts<\/strong>:  We have the list about 80% done — but nothing catalog-wise ordered yet.  A must-do for this weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Beyond that, all our tickets are purchased, most of our plans are made, and by and large feeling a lot more comfortable than an obsessive listing like this would imply.<\/p>\n
