What's left to do 3 days out

My list:

Inventory gifts to make sure everything is here
Wrap what’s left to wrap (maybe 10 things)
Make wood cutting board cream to go with gifts that include wood items

Clean bathrooms
Finish laundry
Pack for trip
Clean out car for trip
Wash remaining dishes
Take out trash and recycling

Returns at two stores

That all needs to get done today.

I'm just waiting for one present for DD12 that will arrive on Christmas Eve. Picked up a target GC for her for a stocking stuffer this morning. Everything else is wrapped.

We are having a low key Christmas Day - just one friend over and we'll be making Lasagna Soup with homemade rosemary bread, caesar salad with homemade dressing, tortellini poppers appetizer and homemade peppermint ice cream. I did the shopping this morning so we're all set. Hoping to avoid stores until after Christmas.

We are already at my mother in law’s house. We have two gifts to wrap and then obviously helping with clean up after meals.

My to do list for today:
basically everything

Wrap gifts
Go to grocery store
Clean house
Maybe even sleep

We are wrapping presents tomorrow. I'm giving the girls their dad's and mine to wrap, and DH and I will wrap theirs. I just haven't had time! Then a quick house clean. The youngest and I may do a little baking later. I already placed my grocery order for curbside pickup on Monday.

I have to make cookies still. 

Will fill stockings when I put gifts under tree. 

I'm pretty ready.

I'm keeping it very low key this year. My goal is no stress.

Finish Christmas cookies, then make up plates to give to neighbors.
Laundry (always and forever)
Clean the house
Wrap presents
Pick up bike from store that has been holding it for us
Wrap pajamas for the elf to leave as his final send off for the year
I’d like to take the kids to see The Grinch but that’s not a have to
Run to the store for final stocking stuffers
Buy gift card online for DH’s dad and stepmother

Im working today until 2, fill my car with gas then home.
I sold my couch and chair - they are supposed to be picking it up at 3 today.
A friend wants to go out for supper tonight as well.
Driving to my parents tomorrow for for 3 days
Just have to throw a couple of outfits and bathing suit into the suitcase and pack the presents into the car.
I will do a quick clean, take out the garbage and make sure the dishwasher is emptied before I go.

Clean. Maybe make peanut butter bars. In good shape otherwise.

I've done nothing this year and there's still time for me to do more of that!

All of my must-dos are done or underway.

-Finish washing sheets on guest beds for adult kids who want to spend the night on Christmas Eve.
-Make some cookies for DH
-Finish wrapping-probably have 75% done
-Take a few 'around the house' photos for my December Daily
-Make tags for the stockings and fill them. We tore out our fireplace this summer so I need a new stocking plan. I'm going to go with filling them early and just laying them on the couch for Christmas morning. I'll come up with some innovate and cute next year!

You are awesome. Just keep on doing what you do!   I will live vicariously through your do-nothingness!


I am done sewing. Made two pairs of adult pj pants, one kid set of pjs (top and pants), one baby blanket for my nephew’s new baby, a dog sweater for my sister’s dog and one big fleece/minky self bound blanket for DD (note to self, if I EVER make another blanket like that it will NOT be made out of such slippery fabric!). 

Took the dog to the groomer which was a month (at least) overdue. Went to the grocery store and was surprised that it wasn’t as awful as I’d imagined it would be. Shoutout to HyVee for being a well oiled machine! Bought all the stuff we need to bring to our friend’s house on Tuesday (stuff for antipasto salad, and Italian bread) where we were invited at the last minute, and the stuff to make funeral sandwiches for us for dinner on Monday.

Got the absolute last thing I’m buying DD (a wooden recorder) yesterday, and a couple sets of cookie cutters for BFF at Home Goods. I think I’m done shopping, unless we decide to give our friends something other than a monster bag of Ghirardelli chocolate squares as a hostess gift.

Very few of the presents are wrapped, but I did wrap up all the Disney stuff and put it all inside a huge box with five helium balloons tied to a “We’re Going on a Disney Cruise!” booklet I printed out from the Disney.go website and wrapped that up too. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get the balloons into the house unnoticed after DD was off school, so I did that the other day. I’ll probably wrap tomorrow.

Need to dig out the stockings and stocking holders from the closet and put those up by the fireplace.

Other than those things, I don’t know what else I’m still going to need to do. I slept like crap last night though so I’m tired and probably not thinking all that straight, LOL.

I still need to make a pie and one more batch of cookies for the 29th, but I can do that after Christmas.
