Same to you, my friend!!!<br /><br />Marta, you've beat me. I spent the rest of the weekend hosting my brothers in law and finishing up the recipe books, plus I made Julians "My Life Story in Pictures" and Gordies "Spanish Book." Just finished last night. Tonight I might get the lights up. It'll be cold, but that's okay. It's winter, it's supposed to be cold! ;o) <br /><br />Hugs to all!Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-46924628354543238312010-12-13T08:33:21.325-05:002010-12-13T08:33:21.325-05:00I actually got our trees up and house decorated th...I actually got our trees up and house decorated this weekend! The cards are going out this week. <br /><br />We've downsized Christmas gift giving several years ago. This year, I've made special gifts for my family too(I think some of them do pop in so I'm not posting what). In addition to that, we're all buying stocking stuffers only. Granted our "stockings" are regular size gift bags, but everyone puts a little something in them for each other; socks, dish towels, a tube of hand cream, wooden spoons,picture frame, you get the idea. Most of these things are fairly inexpensive, but fun to give and receive. <br /><br />The main event will be sitting around the table, sharing a great meal prepapre by yours truly, and enjoying the company of family and friends.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all!Marta Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126647102399666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-14118806597674243502010-12-13T07:39:32.947-05:002010-12-13T07:39:32.947-05:00These are great ideas, Aaron!
