All ticks for us, except weekly shopping.
The tree looks great in the strange lighting.
I didn't know CA receives much in the way of snow. Photos tell me I am wrong.
A very cute little 'gingerbread' house.

How I hate wrapping.
Love the photos.

Good Morning Gorgeous! I'm as ready as I'm going to be, but I'm super content checking out these amazing pics 📸. Yes, I'm enjoying my 15 minutes though🥳. No baking over here either 😃 Hugs, RO

Your photos are great. My tree has been up for a while and all gifts have been purchased. I'm going to a friend's for Christmas dinner. I baked sugar cookies and want to decorate them to take to her and her family. I might bake one other kind of cookies, too, but I don't feel pressured to do anything. It's been a pretty good year and it will be a pleasant, relaxing Christmas.

Love,
Janie

I'm not doing much, no shopping needed. Not a lot of decorating either.

The house was clean because we did family stuff a week ago. So, the house is a mess, but Christmas will be just us. Himself and the Young One won't care if things are a mess. Decorations up, shopping done. I'm a bit under the weather so don't know if any baking will get done. Maybe we'll just buy dessert. The Christmas decoration photos are awesome. I could do without the snow. Have a wonderful holiday

Love tgectree in blue and how it looks from the street. Those snowy pictures are right out of a Christmas card..stunning. tree and decorations are up. Not even started wrapping and still gave to buy things. Groceries need to buy.. oh..nothing else done...hahaaa

I still need to get something for the socks and grocery shop. I gave up on cleaning after tidying the dining room up. My son will take over when he gets here, he loves to clean. Now on to baking. Merry Christmas, Sandra xo

That's a blue tree.
Finished the last of the grocery shopping this morning, but already had most everything for Christmas already. Tonight it's more banana bread time. And baking peanut butter cookies.

Christine said...

I am ready!

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Andrew. You're right about CA. They are normally dealing with drought. So any wet is good:)
EC,I cheat and buy the decorated boxes:)
Hils, 'Vaguely ready.' I love it and can relate. Cheers
Val, You just kick back and take it easy. Hugs
Natalie, Thumbs up. Happy Holidays.
Donna, Done? Not fair:)
Hey Ro, Sisters under the skin on no baking. Hehe. Did you recognize the card behind the gingerbread house? Wink. Wink. Woo Hoo on your fifteen minutes. I spent mine walking around Belks. LOL

Sandra Cox said...

Janie, Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy dinner with your friend.
Jamie, Sounds like you're in good shape.
Birgit, I still need to do the grocery thing too.
CJ, So sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Hope that changes soon. Have Happy Holidays.
Denise, A son who loves to clean? Can I adopt him?
Diane, It's the lighting:) Banana bread and pb cookies sounds delish.
Good job, Christine:)

House decorated. I'm not buying any gifts. No baking. Had my Christmas this past weekend. The cats and I plan to snuggle while the temps are in the negative numbers and wind chills estimated to be -40 F. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
