One Step Ahead Of The Game
I am officially done with my Christmas cards! Yeah, you heard me, I’m awesome! I got most of them done the day after Thanksgiving, but there were a few that I needed to get updated addresses for and today the last one is going out in the mail! Yay me! I used to get all my cards done the day after Thanksgiving every year. Then I had children and I would do a few the day after, some the next day, some more the next, etc. until I was mailing out the last of them in the last day or two before Christmas. This year I was determined to get them out of the way so that I wasn’t mailing cards that had jelly smeared on the envelopes again. And I’m done! I had a lot of "help" from the peanut gallery, but I also have several cards in my card stash that no longer have envelopes to fit them, so I let the kids do their own cards while I did mine and I was able to get them all done in one fell swoop!
When I went to the post office to buy stamps, I fully expected to get some sort of Christmas theme stamps like I do every year, but this year they offered me these really cool DC Comics stamps and I just had to get those instead! Aren’t they awesome?
Now its time to get my decorations up and get Christmas shopping out of the way. Is it odd that I love to give presents that people will love, but I hate doing the actual shopping? We’re heading down to Idaho Falls today to take Ethan to Toys R Us so that he can pick out a birthday present with the birthday money Grandma sent him. Maybe we’ll stop at the mall and see about getting a picture with Santa while we’re in town. I’m not sure how Aurora will react to that, though. She’s pretty skeptical of strangers still, but we’ll see. Have a great day, everyone!
