The Sewing Mom

The holiday has officially begun for us.  We picked my mother-in-law up at the airport last night.  Her flight was only 1 1/2 hours late as a result of the high winds we were having here in the Dallas area.  Those high winds not only brought in my mother-in-law, but also some pretty chilly temperatures.  We were in the 50’s in the morning and this morning it was 25.

I did all the holiday grocery shopping first thing this morning, got a nice spiral honey ham for Christmas day.  We are having friends over today, so we set out a mini-buffet.  I hope they arrive soon because I’m starving!  We have ham, turkey and roast beef to make little sandwiches, plus pasta salad and all sorts of crackers and cheeses. 

For some reason I’m in the mood to do some Christmas shopping, even though I really don’t need anything.  I may get up tomorrow morning and hit a few stores and then we will go to the mall which has become our tradition on Christmas Eve.  This is when my daughter finally sees Santa and lets him know her big wish. 

I’m feeling a little bit stressed, have a headache and really need to eat.  Think I’ll go sneak myself a sandwich since they’re not here yet!
