We hunted & killed some VERY last minute gifts.
Easier, when entered store in panic.
And announced, "Santa needs something to put under the tree! I waited until last minute! Omg!"
5 clerks helped me, immediately. :panic:

Sadly, no one helped me to wrap gifts--so they resemble wadded paper lumps.
With far too much tape.:whistle:

I may scrawl on, "It's the thought that counts," with silver, metallic sharpie ink.
Just for good measure.:tup:

Your deadly p bag looks so yummy! Need to consider one of those bags in the future. [emoji38]

Hehehe. When I bought my last last minute gift (book for brother) I told the owner of our bookshop to wrap it up. I always use gift wrapping services when they are offered. (One of my friends worked at a drugstore and hated wrapping up perfume - because she has no talent for that. Her gifts look horrendous [emoji1]).
 
Ah, the night before Christmas.
And have returned to find an ICE CREAM CAKE & CANDY HOUSE!!!!!!!:eek:

Let me knock gently on door.
With my fork.
To see if any sugar is at home...

Jackpot!:ghi5:
Hooray, Christmas.

[emoji23] You call this "knocking gently on door"? Looks more like an invasion. [emoji6]
Hope the candy house was tasty. [emoji3]
 
Hello bonniekir, hope you have some nice peaceful holidays! [emoji319]
Please do check in more often! [emoji4]
Thank you! Unfortunately I cant write so much due to my bad wrists, it takes forever to type if hubby is not around to help! Anyway this thread gives me some good readings with all the cooking, the fashion ideas, bags etc. going on this island:biggrin: And yes, Happy holidays to you as well!
 
Merry Christmas to all.
Having a quiet moment before everyone comes down and thing get crazy for a little bit.
Dreary and rainy but I don't think they will mind as they are off to London this morning.
We had a nice day yesterday and they all enjoyed the French Toast the hubbie made.
Soon I will get my favorite present: peace and quiet!
[emoji173] to all!

Today is "day of the goose" and more family visits and looking at Christmas trees.
Before leaving the house for my aunt's someone wants to say "happy Christmas morning" to all islandes.
