Early Finish

With the exception of one gift card, all our Christmas shopping is done.

I’m pretty sure this is the earliest we have ever finished. (One year we did all the shopping on December 23. It wasn’t pretty.)

My plan was to start wrapping next weekend . . . but I started unboxing, and checking gifts off the list . . . and discovered that all but four three items are already here . . .

Six hours of TV watching later, everything is wrapped, ribboned and ready to go. 

Last year we came up with a evil genius idea for what to do with the wrapped goodies. With two curious toddlers, two nosy pre-teens and a cat that eats (and barfs) ribbons, they can’t be under the tree. So, high on top of the bookshelf they go, where the grandkids can see but not touch. Win win!
