Wrapped and Ready

Sure there's plenty of room to add a couple more presents.

This is I told myself, let's be different.  Sure it must be traditional enough for the children, yet with a twist for some of the already been there too many times before today.  I am going with curious attempts of things I've never done before.  Right I know, not a good idea when family is coming.  Why not try these new adventures in spare time when there won't be an angry crowd suffering from your good willed but totally failed attempts of trying new things.  That's it, doesn't matter it will be Figgy Pudding, and or maybe Castle Pudding.  I just really like the sound of Castle, with pudding or anything actually and of course it is surely a British dish.
                              What I won't be doing this year as I have in the years before is going to any Proex Stores.  Apparently, they are all closed and now serving food or some other thing that we probably don't really need.  Proex was one of those must visit for the holiday stores, although I too haven't really been in one since well a Christmas last year or the year before.  I wonder if Toys R Us really has good deals or if they are only appearing to have what we need at lower cost.  Kmart will be another must go and see store, if I can make it to one that's still open.  Why these stores instead of say Walmart?  Well when it comes to toys, and toys for those age 5 months to 10 years old the discount stores are the place to give a good look around.
                              If it's checking my list twice or deciding what special unique recipe I must include in our Christmas Eve dinner I will be having it all finished hopefully by Thursday.  As I heard just now, more snow (as if we don't have enough already now) come on old man winter could you please take a break, it's coming to attack us again.  Good day to clean, and prepare some delicious treats and just take a short break here and there to read a Christmas card or listen to a really beautiful song, like White Snow Falling Down that I just recently discovered by the artist, Marcus James Christian.  Very nice and relaxing to sip a cool glass of wine by a crackling fire tonight.
