Friday and 12 shopping days before ChristmasFollow

#1 Dec 13 2013 at 7:58 AM Rating: Excellent
Weekend plans!

I've got a short list of stuff I need to grab on lunch break at the grocery store because I'll never get around to it otherwise.

My best friend (the former ZAMite Lahurah) is up from Florida visiting family, and she's dropping in to hang out for a few days with us today.

I need to mail a bunch of Christmas cards. Ugh.

It's witch-***** cold here and we're supposed to get 1/2 foot+ of snow tomorrow. I have this afternoon off from work; think I'm gonna hit Sam's Club for baking supplies so I can burrow into the kitchen and make stuff the remainder of the weekend.

All the Christmas cards I've received so far have sparklies on them - must be the 'in' thing. I'll be mailing the x-mas cards I filled out last year, but never got around to sending.Smiley: clown

How important are mass greeting card mailings to the spirit of the holiday?

If I was your relative and stop sending you a christmas card, would you be disappointed or upset, toss me out of the family??

I'm wondering if it's time to do away with the card tradition.

We're finished toy shopping for the children. It's mostly Lego and Playmobil for Hannah and mostly trucks and cars for the boy. We try so hard to get him to like dresses and dolls, but it's all trucks all the time. I'm sure we still have to buy for the other people we're required by custom to purchase things for, but I don't really care about that, Nexa will let me know, I'm sure.

Toy shopping, and if there's time maybe some for the daughter too.

I tried to get my son interested in dolls so gave him a My Buddy when he was just a tot. He never played with the thing - his sister wouldn't play with the thing. It just sat in one place, staying new and clean and artificially happy until it just ceased to exist.

I just now learned from wiki that that doll was the likely inspiration of Chucky.

I'm essentially done with shopping. Flea was happily surprised when I told her that I had already done all the shopping for the kids. I need to buy something for my nephew and my mother but that'll be done soon enough. It's been a nonstop stream of shipping boxes to my door the past week.

No huge weekend plans. Gotta throw the extra Christmas stuff back up into the attic so we're not tripping over it for three weeks. General home maintenance, etc. Pretty low key stuff.

Young Jophiel v3.0 has an Ernie doll but doesn't really play with it nor is he too attached to it. Sometimes he messed with it when he's supposed to be sleeping but his main toy connection is to his manly stuffed dinosaur.

Hmm. The boy has a small blanket with a stuffed animal dog's head in the center that he sleeps with. I'd say he plays with it, but mainly he bites the dog's face. That counts, right?

Our kids were done a while ago, lots of the Thomas train set stuff when it was like half priced a couple of months back, and a ton of other random clothes, toys, etc. We're just mostly finishing up some of the relatives now.

I'm actually taking Wednesday off so the wife can get some of the last bits of shopping done (well that and take the kids to the dentist, but I'm trying to push that part out of my mind...). This weekend is Christmas ships and the wife's family will come over for it, so we're trying to think of what we're going to make, and clean up the house to cut down on the barbs that are such to be launched on account of each and every out-of-place toy and crooked picture frame. Ho ho ho... Smiley: rolleyes

Porridge and week old bread you found in the dumpster behind the Safeway?

Heat up potatoes to use as hand warmers while looking at the lights, then eat them afterwards. Smiley: wink

What a nice holiday thread. I'm taking my daughter to my sister's tomorrow to bake cookies. I'm having a difficult time understanding why I've been almost obsessed with this all week. I haven't looked forward to something the way I am looking forward to this in a very long time. And now I heard that we're going to get snow tomorrow.

We're making those peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kisses in the center. And I'm bringing bagels for breakfast.

He's not playing, he's asserting his dominance over nature.

Lots of work to do at the house. Last couple gifts to get. Half day Sunday staring at my bank account and crying while spooning a box of cheap no name ice cream.

My 10 month old has a bear three times his height I recently bought him cause, you know, Christmas is too far away for this level of awesome.. We keep it in his fuzzy chair. He walks over to it clenches his fists, growls at it head down and then tackles it and beats it up on a regular basis because it's in his chair.

Isn't that kind of precious memory worth a sad bank account balance?

Still settling in, so no big happenings here (if I bought a tree I'd never find it in all the mess). Shopping done online and shipped because I'm incredibly lazy like that.

Spent nearly fifty bucks at the grocery on necessities like extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some awesome crackers made out of pumpkin seeds.
