Thanks!
I plan on entertaining myself with quiet family time. Christmas will be with my husband's family--they are big party people--that's enough party for me! We never go out on New Year's Eve because of the threat of impaired drivers. But we have fun at home and celebrate the New Year with one of my husband's gourmet meals.

I don't get to entertain this year. My daughters and son are doing the parties. I'm just guesting.
I will be spending the holidays entertaining my kids. That is, playing with their new toys with them. :) Needless to say we won't be headed out of the house for a couple of days at least. This would definitely come in handy. I may even hold onto it for a little while to help out with birthday parties, both of my babies are born in January.

I bought several Walmart gift cards--the no fail gift. To save money we exchanged names this year rather than buy for everyone. We go to church together, eat dinner (with no tv on) and open gifts on Christmas Eve.
I'm a late shopper who's been snowbound this week. I might have to give out IOUs. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
ONLY THING I AM DOING IS SOME SIMPLE COOKING CHRISTMAS EVE FOR A FEW PEOPLE
I have my inlaws in town for the week so I am doing a LOT of cooking and big meals.
We're going to have my parents over for dinner..my first time cooking for everybody, I'm nervous!

My parents don't drive anymore so we pick them up and bring them to our house so they can share Christmas with us at our house. We have a light lunch of snack type food, then we open presents and spend the afternoon together while the food is cooking. Then we have a nice traditional Christmas dinner with English crackers to finish the day.
