I'm nearly ready for Christmas. Go ahead and throw tomatoes. There are a few things I have left to do before I can sit back and enjoy all the holiday has to offer.
I have 3 addresses left to find. (Wade and Jenni, Nicolette, and Kurt and Jen if you are reading this, get them to me pronto.) Once I have all the addresses, phase one of getting the card out is finished. Phase two involves folding the Christmas newsletters I so lovingly wrote (that Mr. Bean hasn't bothered to photocopy for me, yet). Phase three is writing "May your days be merry and bright, and my all your Christmases be white," or something like that in each of the cards. Phase four is putting the photos in the envelopes sealing, stamping and dropping them off at the post office. Lucky for me that I got an e-mail from CVS today telling me those photos are on their way to my local store! I'm excited because I got the prints for 10 cents each. I so totally rock.
I have to finish shopping for Mr. Bean and String Bean. I have one stocking stuffer for String Bean. That's it. You'd think this kid would make a list of what she wants for Christmas. Is that asking too much of a 12 month old? I don't think so. Maybe she'll just get an extra donation to her college fund this year...and the cell phone stocking stuffer so my cell can be mine again. Mr. Bean made me a whopping list of one item. I guess he knows what he's getting. No surprises under the tree this year.
Mr. Bean is one of those "Christmas babies", so I have a birthday to shop for. I already got him tickets to the Bears Jaguars game on Sunday, but that is a bit anti-climatic to have your birthday present 11 days before the big day. So, I'll get him something small to go along with it. My sister, Holly, is a Christmas baby, too, but I got her gifts (Christmas and birthday) mailed to California earlier this week.
I have to wrap about half the gifts I bought. The other half, including those for my parents dog, Leia, and cat, Mango, are already wrapped and in my closet. I suppose I should bring them out and put them under the tree.
That's about it. Today is December 3rd. I'm doing pretty well. How about you? What do you have left to do this season?

You got your Christmas cards for 10 cents each?!?!?!?! How?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
We still have the kids gifts to purchase. I need to wrap the gifts I already have. We still haven't put up our tree! I can't decide if I'm going to buy my hubby something, even though we said we weren't buying for one another (we say that every year, though). I need to put together the homemade gifts we're doing for teachers. And then there's the parties we've GOT to attend and the ornaments to buy for the ornament exchange (even though we don't need or want any more ornaments). *sigh* Ahh, Christmas! OH, and I just remembered I need to start saving for the therapy my kids will need soon due to be traumatized from watching "A Christmas Carol". There was a really scary scene in it that scared the bajeebers out of us all!
