Much of the joy of Christmas comes with the countdown to the final event. My children love their advent calendars with a little chocolate to eat each morning as they mark off the days.
We are in what my granddaddy would call "short rows" when he was farming. Those were the rows on the periphery of the field, which are shorter than the rest so when you get to the short rows your work is almost finished.
How about you? Are you finished? I still have things to do. Call me totally crazy, but I have had painters at my house for the past week and a half. That definitely put a monkey wrench in my preparations, but it makes me happy to see my freshly painted house. (if you follow me on instagram you can see my house's new paint job) I can finally hang my greenery today. I know it's last minute but that's ok with me, because I typically use fresh greens and fruits, and I like it to be fresh for Christmas Eve so the later the better. I sat down to make a list of all that is left to do. I thought I would share my list, as well as some great last minute gift ideas. (continue reading after clicking the header for my list….)
