Finally Friday
What a busy weekend it will be!! I need to decorate, wrap gifts, clean, organize, and whatever else pops up. I have 2 trees up already and I plan on putting up 2 more. I have a Christmas party next Saturday at my house. There will be 25 - 30 people. Why is there always things you need to do before a gathering. I ask myself often why haven't I already done this? Why wasn't it important before?? Do you do this to? I plan on getting everything done so I can at least have a fun, relaxing Sunday.
Does anyone else have Christmas parties coming up soon to prepare for?
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!!
