I am happy to say that my Christmas shopping is now complete! Well, not completely complete, but so close. I have been slipping the last two years. Up until then I would always have all of my Christmas shopping done by August with the exception of a few stocking stuffers and a few homemade gifts. The last two years though, I just cannot seem to get it together. Thankfully, I finished up the last of my "necessary" Christmas shopping online yesterday. I will probably still pick up a few little things here and there and since I also have a precious grandaughter with a birthday coming up at the end of this month, I'm looking for a few bargains for her special day.
We usually have our family Christmas on Christmas Day before lunch. Everyone (Amanda and her family, as well as my parents) come over and I have a variety of breakfast foods, along with a variety of finger foods and several crockpots of soup. That way everyone can eat whenever they want throughout the day and we aren't spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Amanda and Alan usually leave in the early afternoon to spend time with his family. The rest of us just hang out together (occasionally we will have visitors) and simply "graze" for our meals. All in all it makes for a very relaxing Christmas!
