Almost Christmas!

Almost Christmas...each year I vow to simplify, simplify, simplify...why can't I?
Buying Christmas presents and getting all the food ready is my biggest burden. Hubby and I haven't exchanged gifts for years, and I've requested the same from friends and family - meeting with some resistance...sigh.
The good news is all 7 of us will be together Christmas eve; Kelly & Jake coming from San Diego and Brad,Murcia and son Aeden (2) - all our kids - will be here...then, we're all going to my brother's on Sunday, something we haven't done before.
I pray I keep the true meaning of Christmas as I run around these last few days!
