The red and green holiday quilt is on the bed with the calico bears.

I got the Christmas Cd's out and they are in the pile with the others now.

Sorting stuff was much easier because of all the work I'd done on this zone

Finally located a 4' tree I like and it was on sale, bought it $30.00, hope it looks ok on big corner cabinet. Will not have to move furniture around this year. Most of the shorter ones come in "urns" etc., but this one is regular with usual base, good cause I have nice tree skirt which will cover nearly all of top of table.

Holiday time finds me with 2 DGSs birthdays (1 today and 1, 2 weeks before Christmas) also DSiL birthday is 11/23. Cards bought for all these today, gift card for DSiL, 2 toy gifts must be purchased in next few days.

HOLIDAY CRUISING MISSION #24: THURSDAY Go and Do

Today is errand day and I bet you know what is coming! I have issued you missions this week that have to do with things that need to be mailed: Packages and Cards. While doing your errands you need to make sure you have your mailing supplies ready. This means stamps

for your cards, boxes, markers and mailing paper if needed. When it is time to mail those holiday cards you will be thanking me for making you buy those stamps early!! Don't forget on your grocery store run to pick up any items that you can off of your meal plan and menus list for the Holidays. Each time you make a trip to the grocery store look over your holiday planner and see what items you can take care of. This will really help you out when you get closer to the holidays and find that you don't have to run out to do a mad dash through the grocery store where you overspend and exhaust yourself. We are FLYing not dashing!
