So, where is everyone in holiday preps? Decorations out? Cards done? Gifts done? Any cool gifts you've found that you are particulary happy with?

I do light decorating since it is just Pookey and I. I put out some nicknacks around the house but skip a big tree since I don't host any parties here. I am trying to get up the gumption to get cards done, I mail out about 25 (much less than earlier years). My gift shopping is about 80% done since I mail a big box to Texas right before Thanksgiving to take care of my three neice's December birthdays and all the Christmas gifts for the majority of may family (in Texas).



The older kids and my parents like gift certificates, so the one gift I am happy with is a "Webkinz" orange and white stripped stuffed cat I got my 6 y/o neice. If you aren't familiar with Webkinz, the stuffed animal comes with a passcode and the child goes online to care for the animal. The cat looks like Pookey and their neighbor's orange and white cat, Sprinkles. She should like it.



I think I'll now go back to thinking about getting the cards ready rather than actually doing them.
