Gifts bought, wrapped, mailed? CHECK (Plus a bonus round of 4 birthdays within 2 weeks of XMAS)
Cards addressed, mailed? CHECK
Charitable donations sent out? CHECK (A llama from Heifer for the kids, plus donations to food bank, homeless shelter and Doctors Without Borders.)
Holiday get togethers? YES, YES, YES and MORE TO COME.
Post-Christmas plans for seeing SHERLOCK HOLMES? YES!

Okay, bring it on. I'm ready.

It's only the illusion of being organized-- most of my gifts must be sent via mail, so most of the wrapping was actually done a week ago in order to make sure the gifts arrived on time.

Back when Christmas meant seeing everyone in person, our Christmas eve tradition was to open a bottle of wine (or three) and then alternate wrapping and toasting the holidays until all the packages were wrapped or we'd suddenly discovered the humor in taping objects to each other. I miss those days....

In this house, wrapping frequently involves sticking things to a cat. From kittenhood, Moon has been fascinated by wrapping paper, and she insists on helping.
