Knocked all but two gifts out in four hours. Christmas Eve, bought the remaining few gifts, and all the food we would need for the next few days.<br /><br />This year, we held a "pre-Christmas" on the night of the 24th, and cooked a big batch of lasagna and Tiramisu for dessert. Kids opened presents, then we met up with more family at the arcade we own. Copy and paste for Christmas day, with the exception of the food - it was traditional German holiday food (I love my MIL!!), and the addition of a few drinks that night at the arcade. <br /><br />Have to say that with not stressing over how much we "had" to spend, and just focusing on the fun gifts, and family, it was a much better year this time around!<br /><br />Hope you and yours were as blessed as we were, this year!Misfit Mommy (aka the Antichrist)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06452239594796206385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-85726153058075705992012-12-27T18:41:50.099-06:002012-12-27T18:41:50.099-06:00I took at few days off too and now I just want to ...I took at few days off too and now I just want to SLEEP too.
