We're ten days away from "the  most wonderful time of the year" and I'm ready. My shopping is 80% complete. In still not sure about what to get a few family members. But I'm sure I'll find something. As I've said before this is the first holiday season since I've been back in the states. This year I'll be hosting Christmas at my home for a group of eight or nine. And guess what? I still don't have a table. Aaaaahhhh!! Well see how my father and nana feel about me not having a formal table. Normally I just rent a table for special events but I have yet to do that this year. We'll how this week progresses, maybe I will maybe I won't. Other than that I think I've decorated my home pretty nicely. 

Decorations:
