We're about set for "giftmas" tomorrow. The girls are surprisingly mellow, although that might be due to the last remnants (I hope!) of the flu.

Stockings are filled, tree is laden with gifts (although not the obscene mass that was there last year--last year was the year of big gifts, never again! :)), I made the pie, just have to clean the kitchen when I get a bit more energy (I'm feeling better, though) and I'll be all set.

I'm starting to get caught up on things, I think.

The girls are feeling better, meaning they're no longer spending all day lying on the couch, but they're still not feeling great. Dan is still sick, as am I. (My cough is better but my energy is nonexistent. Wash the dishes? Have a rest. Take a shower? Sit down and rest a while. Drive into town to run a few errands? Collapse in a chair for half an hour. Sucks.)

Needless to say, I haven't wrapped a single gift yet, guess I have to do that tonight (luckily I can do that sitting on the floor :)), assuming I can stay up any later than the kids do :). The girls decorated the tree today almost by themselves, I was too tired to help; actually that worked out, they enjoy it, and I really don't anymore. They did a nice job.

16 dozen chocolate cookies with cherries and chocolate chips
10 dozen brown rim cookies
8 dozen pfefferneusse
6 dozen chocolate crinkles

15 dozen chocolate pecan sugar cookies
9 dozen Mexican wedding cakes
16 dozen molasses cookies
16 dozen chocolate cookies with way too many chips in them
12 dozen M&M cookies
7 dozen hermits
10 dozen peanut butter kisses
10 dozen snickerdoodles
12 dozen chocolate chip cookies
5 1/2 dozen sugar cookies
12 dozen butterscotch oatmeal cookies

Okay, now my feet hurt.

And now we have to sort and pack most of them for mailing. That plus wrapping younger daughter's birthday presents should take me until the wee hours.

So I think I might not make it to ADF chat tonight, although I'll be there if I can.
