only three...

shopping days left before Christmas! (i don't count Christmas Eve, because we celebrate with half of our family that day, so i don't have time to shop!)

i'm glad we're down to the last bits of preparation. here's what's left on my to-do list:
1. bake magic bars for Christmas Eve dinner. a family tradition.

2. make no-bakes for my dad. (daddy, if you're reading, forget i said that.) also a tradition. this man doesn't want gifts, just his favorite cookie.

3. buy a few things for, and then finish, a handmade gift...

4. make a sugar cookie christmas tree for fun, and dip pretzels for my step-siblings.

5. buy one more gift, which is technically on matt's to-do list, but i can't help leaving it on mine until the gift actually is in our possession. i'm anal that way.

6. wrap the very few gifts i have left...

7. pick up the rest of my nativity scene from the pottery painting place. i can't wait! this is a project that's been 2 years in the making, mostly because i'd find the painted half of the set, and have lost the unpainted half... and then i'd find the unpainted half, but misplace the painted half. finally, i got both halves in the same room at once, painted the remaining half, and from now on, they'll go in the same bloody box!

so, what's left on your to-do list??
