One More Week

In just another seven days, we'll have a house full of people including excited grandchildren bursting with energy to open Christmas gifts.  

There is no more room left under the Christmas tree for more presents.  We even have presents stacked up against an armchair and the piano.  We only have a few more presents to wrap but those presents still have not yet arrived here at the house.  We had a couple of late additions to our Christmas present list.  Most of these gifts were purchased in early November!  I think the last present will be delivered to us on Friday, the day before our Christmas party.  That is cutting it too close for comfort!

I've already decided on what we will be eating for dinner on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and on Saturday for the party but we still need to compile a shopping list of food and to go grocery shopping.  We'll do that sometime early in the week.  If all goes well, we won't need to go back to the grocery store until after the party but, unfortunately, we always forget something that must be picked up so we always end up back at the grocery store.

The living room is looking like Christmas though!
