Does this logic work for the tree as well?

I'll get my daughter's teachers (and maybe my son's homeroom teacher) something, because they've gone above and beyond, but everyone else can fend for themselves. My holiday spirit this year looks remarkably like a bottle of spiced rum.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741485605994137496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-7311095188261912592014-12-09T06:06:35.645-05:002014-12-09T06:06:35.645-05:00Ha ha, you're right.

Unfortunately, I have already fallen into that trap this year.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-72166468762473778762014-12-08T23:59:25.777-05:002014-12-08T23:59:25.777-05:00I wrote a list of cookies I'd like to make, bu...I wrote a list of cookies I'd like to make, but in reality, I think I will have the ingredients and recipes to the college freshman and his girlfriend and let them have a blast while I'm at work. (Of course, they have to come home, first...) I've done a little shopping online, my husband has taken care of some things, and I'm still trying to sew and quilt up the rest. Which is why I was at the fabric store on Sunday buying multiple yards of fleece in a flurry of inspiration. What was I thinking?!?<br />I am impressed that you wait until the 21st. I wish I could... but that wouldn't go well with a job in a church where I also attend, so there's choir rehearsals and 3 bulletins to make in one week, and... and... and... <br />I'm letting the kids have free reign with the tree this year. It'll be great.

I picked up a few things this weekend but I still don't have much!Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.com
