| Gayla that sounds so nice. Our ladies group takes the kids(they bring money and a list) shopping at our local Target and then we bring them back to the church and help them wrap presents and feed them hot cocoa and cookies.

|  <--Me doing the 'happy' dance with my pompoms!!!
I've FINISHED DH's Xmas prezzie shopping, they're wrapped, boxed, addressed (cards included) all ready to post tomorrow morning....FINALLY!!! 
I dread the postage costs because they'll have to go airmail and the post-office no longer do 'economy' air-mail, that's an even bigger incentive to get organized even earlier next year because the deadline cut-off for sea-mail is mid october!!! 
But it's DONE....COMPLETED....FINISHED....
