Agreed. Here's a little holiday comraderie for you and <<hugs>>.
PS--for those of you who need to hide gifts from prying eyes, luggage works wonders!
I don't even have an excuse of being sick! I think everything is just now catching me up to me from when my mom was sick this summer. Can that be possible? It's the only thing I can think of.
I hide the kids' gifts in the empty boxes from the Christmas decorations. After we do the decorating, the gifts go in there and back under the stairs. They've never checked there yet!
My mom got lucky for hiding our presents...my family has three girls and my mom's sister has three boys, and since they did all their shopping together anyway, they just went home with each other's bags, so if we looked, all we'd find is boy toys.
And I like the idea of the ornaments as a present for sisters, and definitely the idea of baking, who wouldn't want some homemade cookies or fudge?!
