Since my father passed away last year, I am just not motivated for this. Dinner is at my house, so I need to get GOING! We have only 3 guests this year for dinner, but it's open house for dessert. Could have 12 show for dessert, or none. Never know. We draw adult names for Christmas Eve gift exchange at dessert.
SOOOOO....I have to make the pies, set out ingredients, TONS of house cleaning, contact family members to see who WANTS in the drawing this year (it's voluntary). And......the morning after Thanksgiving, my dd's and I are heading to a championships for Irish dance. 2 of the dd's are in several events there. So, I have to pack their dance stuff, a cooler of snacks and waters to last through the weekend, clothes, and emergency stuff (motrin, ace wrap, ice pack). THe girls each have a competition buddy that they have to prepare a surprise for, so have to get out the goodie bags so they can put stuff in there. Oh geez, gotta get the girls to charge their nintendo ds's, too!
If it weren't for the last minute.......................................
