Jan. 11, 2006 - Unfinished Christmas |
Am I the only one who still has Christmas
loose ends? OK, mine are more than loose ends. I haven't
sent out any gifts to far away family. Now, this is not new for
me--last year I sent out packages in May, I am embarrassed to
say.
As Christmas approached this year, I knew I wasn't going to be able to
get it all done on time, but I thought I could be pretty close.
Well, the urgency passes, and it just keeps getting put on the back
burner. I still have to finish photo albums, and then I should be ready to send. I say should, because I keep eating one of my gifts.
I like to come up with homemade, personal gifts, and then give to
almost everyone on my list (hmmm, is that then personal?). Well,
one of my gifts this year is homemade caramel corn. And I keep eating
it! I experimented and found a way to make it dairy and soy free,
and I have always loved
caramel corn. With all of my food restrictions due to Anders'
allergies, I don't have a lot of "treats". And am I ever
indulging myself now!
So, I need to get this done. It's January 11th today. If I
persevere and put some effort into it, I should be able to have
everything shipped by Saturday. That would be amazing from my
end, though still late for everyone else. Of course, that means I
have to stop eating caramel corn!

I'll take come caramel corn. I ate 2 of our gifts but it was peanut brittle. I had to remake that twice!
I still have to put away the Christmas dishes and I just noticed the pine/ribbon/bow greenery on top of the bathroom mirror. Oops, forgot all about that! |

| We still have a Christmas wreath hanging up in our kitchen. Not sure if it will ever be put up in the attic. Oh well... |

two batches of caramel corn, enough for 5 people's gifts... uneaten by me :) But I haven't finished the albums at all. Press on...
(oh, we have all of our decorations stacked on top of my computer armoire. It doesn't bother me at all ;) but I'm sure my DH will be after me to get it put away soon!) |

Can you send me some? I adore caramel corn! It's one of my fave treats, and I don't treat myself that often.
STOP eating the gifts, Heather, you rascal!
We just took our decorations down today - early for us! |

LOVE it! It got so late for me this year... I decided I would send out birth announcements to everyone when the baby comes in May instead of Christmas letters!
Good luck! (If you don't send them now... you'd be SO far ahead for next year... just a little food for thought).
Blessings,
Amy |

| Mmmmm I love caramel corn! I still have a Christmas wreath up and my hubby and I both 'noticed' the garland and ribbon around the top of the kitchen cupboards the other day. We got so used to seeing it there that we just didn't notice it. :-D |
