I managed to get almost all of it done. I finished my shopping December 24th, and reaffirmed my belief that you need to finish your shopping MUCH earlier! I found bags or boxes for everything but the trike, and we just put a big bow on it. Not all the gifts had bows on them, but no one seemed to care.
There were two things I didn't get done. I managed to get about half of my Christmas cards mailed this year. The unfinished ones were waiting for a longer, personal note to be included. I guess those friends will either get New Years cards, or St. Patrick's Day cards, or maybe Memorial Day cards. If you live in the U.S. and you didn't get a Christmas card from me, you may still find one coming your way.
The other thing I couldn't clear the decks to do was to wish all my on-line friends a Christmas wish. If you come to read my blog, or if you are a friend from my chatting days, I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. I hope that you find Peace and Joy in the coming year, and that our friendship will continue through the years.
Happy Holidays!

I am a firm believer in "no bows". Of course I wrap like a 4 year old, so a bow would just look ridiculous on top of the mess that I make!

Buffy, warmest wishes to you for the Holiday Season. I'm looking forward to more reads and chats with you in the New Year.
As for bows, mine were all recycled. Right now there's a big pile of them by the lounge chair that need to be tucked away for next year.

Joe, ELegante Mother agrees with you! She says enough is enough! I hope that you have safe driving when you make the trip up here next week. I'll be thinking of you.
Bogie, I'll give you wrapping lessons one day. There's nothing wrong with no bows. *S*
Roberta, usually I recycle the bows that go on the adult's gifts, and use one-time-only bows for the kids. This is just one more area where we tend to think alike.
I'm looking forward to your posts in the new year. We wish you and your family all the best this coming year.
