I finally go...I was very late getting the tree up. I finally got it put up yesterday. I usually get it put up the day after Thanksgiving but I just wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit. The kids being gone must have something to so with it. thank goodness I have 95% of my shopping done. <br />Like you I had to have the holiday music on to help get me in the mood. I have watched a couple of holiday specials and that helped too.<br />Your place looks lovely and festive, Marilyn.gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340695421297618723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-69835716126255778592010-12-08T21:56:47.466-06:002010-12-08T21:56:47.466-06:00Wow, your apartment looks fabulous, Marilyn!

Now you can do your cards while basking in the holiday glow. ;)<br /><br />I've got lighted wreaths up outside and my banister swags put up, but that's all. I'm so behind. Oddly, I don't mind. What's with that?

Thank goodness. Still have a couple that I'm making waiting for me to find some time.<br /><br />No Christmas cards this year, as I don't have money for mailing. One year won't hurt. So that leaves me pretty close to done. Feels good. :)<br /><br />AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-85051061982111853752010-12-08T13:17:59.161-06:002010-12-08T13:17:59.161-06:00I'm almost ready! I'm perpetually *almost*...I'm almost ready! I'm perpetually *almost* ready. I run around trying to do everything, then hit a wall, look around, and say, "Good enough." I'm in good shape when it comes to presents. Not completely finished, but close. The house is about as decorated as it's going to get. Cards? Uh, haven't even started, except for a few that are going in with presents to be hand delivered. I don't guess that counts. And those I bought for the sentiment on the outside without reading the inside, which I really should NOT do. I need to go out and buy more cards . . . So, HoHoHo, or as I prefer to say OhOhOh. :-)Linda Winstead Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870355400804918712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-25204170741605871812010-12-08T11:35:04.146-06:002010-12-08T11:35:04.146-06:00BAH!

HUMBUG!<br /><br />I always get this attitude until two weeks before Christmas and then I get my a## in gear and get things done -- except for last year when I was admitted to the hospital on December 5 and was released on December 17. That should have taught me a lesson -- to get things done early -- but I am a consummate procrastinator!<br /><br />I DO have a wreath on the front door, my Christmas cards and address book on the dining room table and 4 gifts in hand. Well, that is a start!PM's Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589041787489100928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-14790077270643415142010-12-08T11:08:03.183-06:002010-12-08T11:08:03.183-06:00I'm not ready.

And I'm on a deadline extension, so not exactly swimming in time here. You may get cards handed to you at the party. :)<br /><br />Marilyn, your decor is lovely. I have a wreath and two trees by the doorway.

The tree is still naked, but DB is sick and isn't interested in helping me. (If I do it without him, he'll get irritated, so I have to wait).<br /><br />I need one or two last gifts (that DB is supposed to buy) then I have to hit the post office to mail a couple packages. Then, I think just maybe, I'll have this holiday whipped.<br /><br />I'm not big on Christmas movies or books, but I'm a nut for Christmas cartoons and music. Watched the Glee Christmas episode last night (which was opposite Charlie Brown, boo!) but I'll whip out all my DVDs and force my family to watch all the Christmas cartoons I love.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.com
