Happy Holidays to all - every holiday, no matter what you might celebrate. We, too have birthdays close to Christmas - DD is Dec 11 and DH is coming up on Jan. 2. All of the Christmas decorating has to happen between these two dates, although, at mid-forties, DD tells me it's OK to decorate before her birthday now. I never did when she was little so her bday wasn't overshadowed.
As for the candy swap, Sheri R, I don't "need" mine for a while so don't fret on my account. I'm sure, though, that you are ready to have that obligation out of the way! Glad you got moved in, although that's a relative term I know! Thank you for doing all of this, in spite of having to move. You're a Dear!
