I don't like doing that sort of thing at al, and would most certainly mess it up.<br />So now that the party is done you can focus on home and preparing for your Christmas.

Sunday is our 35th wedding anniversary. I'm going to a baby shower on the 12th. Tree arrives on Saturday. You get the picture. I hope your headache is under control and goes away real soon!!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-66871566849603792762009-12-03T10:19:31.305-07:002009-12-03T10:19:31.305-07:00Tonite is our first official xmas party.

It is my husband's company party which entails hors d'eourvres at 6 pm followed by dinner and ballroom dancing, then pictures, then dessert buffet. And we both have to work tomorrow!! so i'll need plenty of coffee tomorrow to avoid the headache you are experiencing!!<br />Sat evening we have a party with our youngest daughter hosted by the director of the drama/dance group she is in. Next weekend we havea party for all youth group volunteers. That will be it for us, other than my birthday and my daughter's birthday. It sure is a busy time. I am hoping to host a new year's day open house IF we get our bathroom done by then (my little half bath that guests use!!) blessings to youFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-12296867678570679472009-12-03T09:56:58.395-07:002009-12-03T09:56:58.395-07:00I hope your headaches goes away soon!

I think we'd veg in front of videos.<br /><br />I am glad the party went well!<br /><br />I don't have any Christmas decorations up yet. We do that all together as a family and I don't know when everyone will have time at the same time. We have to figure that out.<br /><br />I only put out some fall decorations on Thanksgiving Day, which was way late for me. I plan to do better for Christmas!<br /><br />I have a big project this week but hope to dig into the present-buying next week.<br /><br />Our ladies' group has a party in a couple of weeks and our adult Sunday School class has one I think the same week. Each of the kids has their own SS party. That's about all we go to. No one we know really has parties in their homes any more like Carrie mentioned -- I think it's just too busy. But one friend used to do so and I miss them. We don't even have a piano recital or Christmas program to attend this year as Jesse's not taking piano or in the choir this year. All the years I chafed at all the busy-ness of all the programs, especially when we had kids at different levels and more than one recital or program, I find myself kind of missing it this year.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-45178109646334788772009-12-03T09:47:20.205-07:002009-12-03T09:47:20.205-07:00We're doing OUR big Christmas open house on th...We're doing OUR big Christmas open house on the 19th and I'm looking forward to it! If I had 3-4 parties to go to I would faint dead away...simply because that would mean someone else was throwing a Christmas party! Every year it seems to be the same old thing...we're the only ones we know who LIKE having people over and host parties. Everyone else just attends. WHich is great...but sometimes I think it would be rather nice for somone else to do the honors and to be able to just attend myself!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-58535329932605842642009-12-03T09:08:36.471-07:002009-12-03T09:08:36.471-07:00I am ALMOST done!
