    We're going a way over Christmas.
    I have presents organised but I'm not sure they will be delivered in time because I got some of them from one of the discount sites and they can take a while to pack and deliver. I still need to get a few more stocking stuffers but I'm leaving that so I can do it on holidays; the shops have aircon and if I need a break from my family it's a ready made excuse.

    No tree. We leave it until the last minute and I usually grab a bit of driftwood from the beach that I can return afterwards (much to SIL's disgust lol).

    Dog and cat accommodation is booked.

    I need to pack but not for a while yet.

    One present left to buy (need to find it cos its not in any of the shops my bro suggested). Pick up laybys. Wrap. Everything else is here or ordered and on its way.

    Tree is up and half decorated (its that big it's a two day job!). Lights out the front getting done today.

    Lunch with closest friends on dec 8. Will have to grab fresh stuff to eat but everything else done. Family Christmas on the 16th. Same deal. Lunch for Christmas day is all organised after yesterday's shopping expeditions.

    I'm sure there will be other stuff come up that we will need to do bit I'm feeling surprisingly calm and organised now. Nice feeling cos I'm normally a last minute shopper.
