Here is my holiday to-do list:

1. Visit Santa (done!)
   
2. Get portraits taken (scheduled)
3. Wrap gifts (start next week)
   
4. Finish decorating (lights and last year's cards as decoration)--cards are up, and colored lights go up next
   
5. Email our e-card out and print it for the our grandmas (Bit's great-grandmas)--by 12/19
   
6. Celebrate our anniversary! LOL (top priority...it's in 2 days!)
   
7. Finish up menu/event planning--getting there, taking a casual approach:

• Brunch w/ Grandma, date set--location unknown
• Friends visit (haven't seen them since Summer), same day as brunch, Indian for dinner, Chex Mix for snacks, maybe get some Pomegrante 7-up for festive drinks
• Christmas Eve services? maybe skip it and watch movies, sing carols at home, more our speed/style
• Christmas day w/ our folks, planning to cook Let's Dish (figure out other side dishes, etc.)
• Celebrate with my extended family after Christmas (not sure what we'll need to bring)
  

Plans for New Years haven't firmed up yet, but they will...no need to stress. The holidays are meant to be fun and peaceful!
