This is great, hilarious, and makes me feel a little less guilty thinking that I might be the only one who is far behind. If I can get through 4 Christmas parties tomorrow (2 schools, 1 office, and 1 friend’s house), I think I will be able to tackle this other stuff Love your post!

If there is an earthquake, maybe you should Drop, Cover, & Hold On. Or, sign up for the ShakeOut to be ready!

Hopefully there won’t be an earthquake so you all don’t get buried in unwrapped gifts! LOL! Love your idea about skipping a formal meal. It can be too stressful sometimes, and usually leaves a few people stuck in the kitchen instead of being able to visit with family. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Glad you’re making some progress! This morning I actually put up my outside decorations because it was finally NOT FREEZING! Glad I can check that off my list! Merry Christmas!

It’s just not Christmas without listening to Miss Piggy! LOL! Congratulations! What a wonderful time of year to welcome a baby. At 39 weeks pregnant, you certainly have a reason to not be ready for Christmas!

I’m not ready for Christmas but everyday the list gets more and more checkmarks on it. All the presents are not yet wrapped and are on shelves in my closet….Heaven help me if an earthquake hits. My family will be at my house this year and we decided to forgo a traditional dinner this year. It totally eats into our visiting with eachother and that’s what we should be enjoying…being with eachother. So, we won’t be stressing and hovering over the oven. We are baking a turkey and ham and having sandwiches along with other finger foods. Still need to put lights up outside but won’t do so until the temp reaches above freezing.

I love your #9. Got to do that with my son, who just turned 4. If you teach the spirit of giving to those are who in need at a young age, I believe they’ll carry it on throughout their life.

What gets done will get done and what doesn’t, I can live with. (:

#9 is a wonderful idea, I should do something like that with my 5-year-old!

I’m not ready for Christmas either, but I’ll get there eventually. This week is off to a productive start. 4 errands so far today.

I am 39 weeks pregnant right now so I sympathize with you! I imagine that’s about the same exhaustion as having four active kids! I agree that not everything has to be done December 1! Spread it out and enjoy the weeks.

And I grew up on John Denver and the Muppets’ Christmas album–still totally my favorite!
