Jeanie: Snow Grounds Xmas Cards

JeanieSpokane: No travel plans, except to get across town to my son's house on Christmas Day. However, my best laid plans of getting Christmas cards out has been waylaid. I have now decided to send out New Year's cards. Maybe. I had a plan, you see, to send out my cards on Friday and then take the next two weeks off from work. But two snow days later, the cards, letters, stamps, labels still sit at work and I am pretty much snow bound. We did manage to get out of here this morning and trek to Spokane - I ducked into my office and grabbed “Santa's presents” that had been hiding under my desk. The cards etc remain on the desk. I hate being late! So now I'll send something after the New Year.

Question: Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you still have something to do today to finish preparing?
