loracsOnly a few more presents to wrap. They've been sitting on the table for 3 days with paper, tape and scissors. Why do I wait until almost the last minute? Okay, the last, last minute would be Christmas morning. The family is expected sometime early to mid-afternoon on Christmas day.
Christmas eve is set aside for a little cleaning, putting the lasagna together (the sauce was cooked a few days ago), prepping the salad items, setting the table and tagging the serving dishes. I post-it note everything, so come xmas day I just have to put the item in the dish and set it on the table. When I was growing up, every holiday (without fail) had my mom lamenting something she forgot to put out. Not that we ever noticed because there was so much food, but it always irritated her. If only she had post-it notes.
