. so close .

. i can't believe tomorrow is christmas eve . i'm almost ready . groceries bought . gifts almost all wrapped . now if the weather will cooperate so everyone can get here . it's almost time to enjoy the holiday with loved ones . we are hosting steve's side (christmas day) and mine (new year's day) . it can be difficult to enjoy it when you have to cook (although others are bring food too) and clean and get ready for guests, but if you don't it's not even worth the trouble . i always try to work hard getting it all done so that when everyone arrives i can enjoy my time with my guests . it doesn't always happen but the more effort i make beforehand the more i enjoy myself . i don't know how much i'll be on here the next couple of days so i just want to say it now...

. merry christmas everyone .

. here's a little proof of some of the fun we had the other day .
