We did the last bit of Christmas shopping today. We bought gifts for our great-great-nieces and nephews. We give kids gifts like books, educational toys, microscopes, and kits that teach them about earth and sky. We like spending our money on gifts they will enjoy after the tree is down and the Christmas cookies are gone.
Another Christmas item checked off our list is Christmas cards. We slipped the last Christmas card into the jaws of a drive-by mailbox this afternoon.
Tonight we watched an old Christmas movie. The Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Stewart. It's one of our favorites.
Tomorrow is wrapping day. We're so close to being ready for Christmas we can smell the reindeer droppings.

If Mrs. Claus looked like that, Santa would be even jollier!!
