I have a whole collection of knee-hugging elves of various sizes stored somewhere in my Christmas closet - haven't seen them for over 4 years! It's just easier to get another Elf than to search through my jam-packed closet.

Lol you sound like me I dont like searching through my jammed packed basement. I have tons of christmas decor down there and here I am buying new when I could be using them. My favorite things I keep at the top of the basement so they are easy to get to so I use those lol

I know - it's easier to just buy more than unpack that Christmas closet or worst of all - go into the garage stash - both are a nightmare - got some wonderful stuff stored away but it means taking out boxes upon boxes that are packed in there like jigsaw pieces in the closet or unstacking still more of them from along one side of the garage and going through them until I find what I want. New Year's decorations are in the Christmas closet as well! Hobby room also has my standing Santa in it, covered in his dust cloth head down to toe, where it's secured, so dust doesn't get in by his feet. I can't stand my decorations getting dusty!

I just bought the new Elf On The Shelf from Ebay and hopefully will get him B4 this Christmas to go with my other, plush one, that same with the book. He's a cutie! Still need to get out the Fantanini nativity and my Ideal Baby Jesus doll in his "manger" basket. One day I'm going to have one heck of a Christmas decorations sale.

Just think - Christmas is a week from Thursday!!! Best time of the year. My neighbors have just about all shamed me and decorated the outsides of their houses and their lawns this year and the block looks so pretty.

It's so great when everyone is off work together and you get to be with the ones you love at the best time of the year. Have a wonderful holiday season with that man and family of yours!

Just a few more gifts to go. Hubby and one for my sister - then I am officially done.

been pulling out my Christmas linens, and candles n things. So I need more candles.... Tree is half decorated. House is half cleaned. If I keep on going by halves can I add them together and say I got things mostly all done?

Playing now with my menu plan. Finally we are having something different for Christmas meal - Cornish Hens!

Now to make up the rest of the menu plan for the week !

KazzyK810 · 12-18-2014, 09:15 AM

LOL. Going "halvies" is how I get a lot of things eventually done lately! It's easier on the body but harder on the mind as you are always thinking of all the rest you need to do! But you're getting there. Love Cornish hens but never had the guts to make them back when I cooked a lot - always thought mine would wind up too dry.

It has been alot of fun getting ready for it this year

ShowGirlLola · 12-18-2014, 10:23 AM

Well my shopping and wrapping are done except for my mom, idk what to get her. Lola bought her scrunchis to replace the one she chewed.

I'm probably going to mix the cookies this weekend, cook them on monday, make pies on tuesday, and I get my infusion on wednesday.

Well, I've got the tree up and the lights on it!

Now I have to haul the ornaments up from the basement...am kicking myself that I didnt pack things away in the order I need to pull them out. As I've decluttered and organized the mainfloor, it looks like its time to do the same in the basement, after the holidays. I treated myself to a label maker. Cant wait to use it on all the storage totes.

Your tree is pretty. I didnt put ornaments on the two trees I have up I just have lights and then I strung lights in a couple of other areas of the house. I didnt want to deal with ornaments and both of my trees are thin and tall and I can get away with no ornaments. I can relate to you on decluttering the basement that is definitely going to be a spring project

KazzyK810 · 12-18-2014, 12:33 PM

It's decorated!!!
