    I need to get one more gift.
    Wrap the presents.
    And get a few groceries.

    Basically 90% ready for tomorrow.

    the 25th, its just Me, Prince charming and our 27yr Son that lives with us. meals are planned out. And, that's about all I need to do on Christmas.

    Ready or not ...

    We've enjoyed having our empty nest suddenly filled to the brim with our kids and their SOs for a few days, but son #2 needs to take off this evening so we're opening presents this morning. Later today we're doing an escape room together (first time for everything!) and dinner at a fun Italian place.

    Mrs. 0mania is out buying the last batch of Hanukkah candles that I forgot to grab. After that, we're basically ready-to-go. We're old enough and have enough junk in the house that we no longer exchange gifts for this holiday. We do have plans to have some latkes and sufganiyot with friends over the holiday.

    I am successfully in KC, so I’m “done”. My schedule is now dependent on who tells me where to be when. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It's been a whirlwind for DW and I. We were going to have Christmas dinner with DW 89 yo 1st cousin tomorrow but they just released her at 5:30 am from the Hospital. So I'm driving DW to Atlanta to relieve the sitter and I'll return back home with DS and I here at our home then back to Atlanta Sunday to pick up DW and back to our home 1 hour plus.

    It's going to be different Christmas this year but just grateful to make another year.
