Christmas is coming...

"Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat..." Or at least someone is getting fat with the abundance of holiday goodies.  That song is one of my Christmas earworms - and I don't mind it. :) 

A poinsettia from last year is blooming. Yay!
They usually don't make it to the next year, let alone bloom.

Things are falling into place here as far as Christmas preparations.

--the decorating is done both inside and out (except for a couple of bows I want to add to flower pots), 

--the cards are written and mailed (except for a few local ones)

--the baking is done (except for Christmas dinner bread and desserts), 

--the gifts are done and wrapped (except for the dog bones I want to get for my sister's dogs), 

--the gifts for coworkers and neighbors have been delivered (except for the one for the neighbor who never seems to be home),

--the details of family visits have been ironed out with some family joining us for Christmas Eve (except for the email I just got proposing an extended family outdoor gathering Christmas afternoon), 

--the favorite Christmas shows have been watched, (except White Christmas), 

--big light displays have been visited (except for one we just heard about this past weekend), 

--so to say it another way, Christmas plans are going well (except for the ones that aren't.)

How are things at your house?
