Wrapaganza
I'll cook all day tomorrow, and we'll open presents tomorrow night. All gifts must be wrapped today before my head hits a pillow.
I have helpers.
So far, despite my best efforts, the puppy has chewed the plastic grips off the scissors, cracked the tape dispenser in her small-but-mighty jaws, made confetti out of paper scraps, and nibbled two $20 bills into a soggy mess. The money will be spendable when it dries, but in the meantime I've replaced the twenties with a portrait of General Grant in a "low-tech gift certificate," i.e. pile o' cash. Somebody will come out ahead.
This will be funny next year. With luck, it may even be funny by tomorrow. Late tomorrow.

I waited until the girls were asleep to wrap (admittedly, not real tough with cats. Ha!).silvercamaro wrote:I'll cook all day tomorrow, and we'll open presents tomorrow night. All gifts must be wrapped today before my head hits a pillow.

But the tree has fallen over four times now. Since I don't like Christmas and I'm a procrastinator anyway, I hadn't yet put the bustables on it. Those who want pretty glass sparklies on the tree will be putting them on once they arrive on Tuesday morning and shore up the damn thing.

Re: Wrapaganza
My heart is with you! I feel better knowing that we're not suffering through this alone. PBR is a pro at stealing ANY sock or whatnot (dryer sheet etc) that falls out of dryer as I'm folding clothes. She has also taken to chewing on her wicker basket that has her toys. I think she has caught on to the fact that when she chews on the basket, I quickly ask both of them if they want a treat! She briefly thought it would be ok to try and chew on the legs of the dining room chairs. I put some hot pepper on those, as I wasn't as tolerant when it came to solid wood, as I was with wicker.silvercamaro wrote:I'll cook all day tomorrow, and we'll open presents tomorrow night.

I saw in an earlier post that you give rawhide bones to your crew. We decided to do the same thing, but I was a little hesitant because I wasn't sure if it was 100% ok for pups. They have been lifesavers!
Say hello to the gang and Merry Christmas!

Shiny!
I can relate. In addition to my two pups, my son is home with his lab mix pup, and my parents are here with their little guy. Plus an almost year-old baby. I'm so proud of my little guy - he looks at and touches the ornaments on the tree, but setting them to swinging seems to satisfy, and he hasn't pulled the tree over yet.
I was feeling grumpy and out of sorts, but spent the morning with Christmas music and decorating beautiful (if I say so myself) sugar cookies. I feel better now, even though I still have some shopping to do.
