So did ours! DH wasn't sure some of my gifts would make it, but here they were on our doorstep this morning.

Right. It's five o'clock, and the in-laws are coming at 7:30 for gifts and dessert. DH is passed out on the bed feeling awful, poor guy (here's hoping he's better tomorrow!), and I have to finish cleaning the house, assemble the meringue mushrooms, whip the cream, make some custard, set the table, heat the pudding and make us some sort of dinner, while taking care of the baby. The eggs, potato salad, milktart, pumpkin pie, jelly and ambrosia are all done though. Ooh, and I have to fill the brandy snaps! And probably wrap FIL's present, too, DH being out of action.

Ach well, I'll sleep well tonight! Which is good, because I'm embarrassed to admit I still find it hard to sleep on Christmas Eve, and tend to wake up very early.

I feel weird busting in on this thread at such a late hour, but I know if I admit to the fact that I need to go and bake 7 dozen cookies, I actually will.

WHEW.

I feel so much better.

Off to bake!

Me too! I can't seem to bring myself to do it though!

Lmao so do we. Before we had kids I'd make dh play Santa. He'd put out the gifts and devour the cookies and milk.

We're feeling better today, the cold is moving from my head into my chest so not so groggy now.

All your goodies sound fab. It's just the 4 of us so I'm making too much. Dessert will be trifle which we look forward to all year long.

Mmm can't wait til tomorrow!

Made all of the cookies last night, the kids decorated the sugar ones today. DD and I just got back from delivering a few plates of goodies to the neighbors (in the snow!).

I'm done, now bored. I guess I'll go make dinner and prep some of tomorrow's brunch.
