When I was working my lunch time was definitely went I ran my errands. One year I did all of my shopping online and I felt so relaxed leading up to Xmas. I agree with Kay, there is really nothing I want or desire under the tree as long as the kids are excited and looking forward to the holiday I am good. <br />My biggest project is baking cookies which I usually do a few days before Xmas and will put in the freezer to maintain freshness before Xmas day.

Or if your child is school-aged, have a half-birthday party instead -- more kids can actually come then, or you can do fun outdoor stuff that you can't do now.<br />Nancy<br />(waiting for baby #3 to turn 3, one week before Christmas!)

We are only buying for the kids from now on. We've come to the realization that kids are the only ones that we decorate and carry on the shenanigans for. They enjoy the bright lights, the Tree, cookie time, and Santa.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips. I linked your button to my site. I like it here. That's our plan for this year.
