I have been very busy at Christmas time, not anymore. I work full time and have the normal chores at home to do. I have a little dog, three cats and a bird to take care of. and they all create more work. I keep a clean home,I don't put up Christmas decorations for Christmas Eve at our house. Our Grandkids go from 11 to 26. Their Families or them decorate. I cook the meal and spending time together will have to be enough. I buy gift cards and that makes everyone happy. Seems so many things have to be done at the last minute. Three Great Grandkids, only one is local, will buy him a stuffed animal, he is 6 months. Gave the other two's Dad money to shop for them.
