Perfect checklist! Have a brilliant Christmas wherever you are and whoever you are with.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful blog.
Ha! This made me laugh. Think you've ticked off the two most important things (1) Surrounded by loving family (2) Christmas loo roll. I didn't even realise that the latter existed. What a sheltered world I live in. For someone who has exquisite design sense, you do have an enormous capacity for KITSCH!!! Happy Crimble.

ReplyDeleteLove your checklist..I must say mine is pretty much the same.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some of the important stuff checked off your list! I did get my cards sent out :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! Made me feel so much better about all the stuff I have yet to do! Happy Christmas Julia!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your list, I just panicked. Julia, what did you do to me, lol!
ReplyDeleteA very healthy attitude, girlfriend! Enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo!
You reminded me to charge the camera battery, but overall you are SO right about what the priorities should be .... thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteOne more look at Julia's blog? Priceless.
ReplyDeleteI am so not ready ...mainly in the cleaning area ...but how much does it really matter ... maybe do a bit on boxing day morn as we have people round in the after noon. The scent of gammon and all the bits I add to the water is wafting up the stairs and it smells like Christmas as for mince pies ...vicki will have to make more ...we ate them lol. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your checklist, now we all can just check yours. You did good and the important things are ready to go. Family is #1 and the rest is just window dressing. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!!

Merry Christmas!
Got home from having my hair cut this morning to find a letter saying our electricity will be off for 4 hours tommorrow morning. Oh joy, just what you want on Christmas Eve. As we're visiting in the afternoon, looks like a late night tonight cooking cocktail sausages, making cheese straws and slurping copious amounts of wine to sustain me. Merry Christmas, One and All!
ReplyDeleteChristmas Loo paper!!! classic!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! your check list made me giggle :) im happy to have stumbled across your blog!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have everything under control LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a good one - wishing you & yours a great Christmas & all the best for 2011.

ReplyDeleteperfect! have a fabulous Christmas :D
ReplyDeleteThe list says it all. What a giggle. Enjoy your christmas and new year and a big thanks for starting this addictive snooping.
ReplyDeleteLove your checklist! Mine is about the same as yours but I did manage to buy the last present yesterday! Have fun, be happy! Enjoy the mince pies ( wish I had some!) and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Sounds like you're ready in all the important departments - enjoy your holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove that checklist you've made. I am sure it is all finished by now and you are having a lovely Christmas. This is the first time I've been able to get on the internet in days, and I'm suffering withdrawal. Had to come to your place first and get my giggles for the day.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you can avoid any last minute problems when you are given four hours to finish Christmas gifts, wrap everything, pack, and bring things to eat. And of course, I have plenty of batteries! Have an AWESOME Christmas
