I am bought, wrapped, and under the tree, and have been for two weeks. :presents:

It is nice to be able to sit back and enjoy, and not get caught up in the rat race and the stress.
 
Like @Morgan101 I'm done shopping. Might have to get a few groceries (none that I can think of, but wouldn't be a shocker) but gifts are mailed or under the tree. Got our tree this weekend. Did I mention, we use real candles and light them Christmas eve? It takes some doing but is beautiful and special.
 
Very cool using real candles!
We do luminarias. Meaning on cookie baking day (yesterday) the grandkids have to fold (double cuff) the tops of 100 paper lunch bags to get them ready. On Christmas eve, a few inches of sand or dirt is put at the bottom and a candle put in each bag. They are set out in front of our house all down the driveway from the road. We do that instead of outdoor lights.
