What is the dessert?
Good luck checking your list (twice?)!

Gift bags are perfectly reasonable. So is no bread for neighbors. Bottles of wine are nice, too;) Or bags of sand/salt in my case...
1. Gift bags stuffed with tissue - even recycled bags are great. btw - Whole Foods has nice bags for $.79 and $.99 that are reusable shopping/lunch bags.
2. Gratitude is a good thing.
3. Sign your name and put XOXO, they are lucky to even be getting a card!
4. Amen
5. Just make it - no practice
6. Fill out customs thingy ahead of time and send Trusty Oldest or Middle to PO with a crisp $20 bill.
7. Pray for muscle pull.
8. Delegate to the boys.
9. Gotta do that one.
10 and 11. Your Public DEMANDS it!
12. Buy the damn cookies this year. At a Really Good Bakery.
I just need to be reassured about number 7.
(I'm hoping pulled muscle, too.)
I'm sort of pretending Christmas is NOT next week. Our family is not doing gift exchange, I'm not really working and we have no parties to go to. I did decorate the tree.
What's for dessert? Is there a good prize for the winner?
OMG! I just scrolled down to check my word verification and it says "calmer" I SWEAR.
I would love to see the snowflakes.
Reassure us all.
Kim, I HEART YOU. Why are you so damn far away. Anyway, you might send it to her, this time. Never again, though.
