Wrap, wrap, wrap

It started raining before dawn this morning and has kept at it all day and into the evening.  It's wintertime!

Most of our Christmas presents have arrived so we're beginning the wrapping stage for the ones that are shipped.  I've noticed a big uptick in traffic this week as the franticness sets in.  I feel lucky because there are very few gifts that will work for my crew here in town so I can order online guilt-free. I prefer to support local businesses, but if they don't stock what I prefer to give, well, what's a mom to do?  I'm also feeling lucky because our children are adults now and there are only two grandchildren, thus purchasing is streamlined. All of which leaves more time to really enjoy this season in a way I never have before. YES!
