OK...I finished writing out the Christmas cards, except for a few stragglers that hubby needs me to do. The kids' pictures are in and they're sealed. I'm going to stamp them tonight and get them out in the mail tomorrow. I was going to wait until December 1, but then I figured, "why wait"? I have a big enough problem with procrastination...no reason to do that if I don't have to!

The inside decorating is also done. We put up the (fake) tree on Friday. It's great that the kids are so into it...they're 7 and 5 and are really getting into the holiday season. DD also helped me wrap almost all of the presents we've gotten from others. Maybe tonight I'll try to finish wrapping my kids' presents from Santa. We haven't started decorating outside, because we need to clear the leaves out of the bushes first. I'm hoping we'll take care of this next weekend. So I'm really in a position to enjoy December, stress free. I even broke out my Harry Connick Christmas CD...it's one of my favorites.

Other than the holiday stuff, I'm pretty much waiting for the 30th to see where things shake out for the month. I needed to transfer money from my "fun money" account to cover part of our California trip, but that was expected. Next month, I'll need to do the same to cover the stuff from the trip that I charged and will need to pay then.
