The tree is decorated, p
resents are wrapped, menus are planned and my parents will be here this afternoon :-). I am so excited about Christmas this year. We've spent the last three Christmases traveling to see family and friends, they were all wonderful, but it's nice to be home for a change. I've planned a gorgeous 4 course dinner, salad, pasta, prime rib and dark chocolate cheesecake stuffed cake for dessert. In addition to shopping for everyone's gifts, I do most of my own shopping too and wrap it and put it under the tree. I can be a bit picky, LOL. My DH is so sweet, he always gets me a couple of surprise gifts. He did his shopping yesterday and when he got home he told me how much he must love me to go out shopping at Christmas time. It's nice to be loved :-). He hates to shop. When we were dating, we went to the mall and he looked at me and asked me if 20 minutes was enough. I knew then we wouldn't be shopping together, LOL.I have finished all of my PIFs and they are winging their way to various destinations all over the world. I won't say who is getting what but the pictures are below.
I had Cari for the Stitching Blogger's Christmas Exchange Blog this year. For her Birthday I sent her a Sweetheart Tree design and some other goodies. Heather did the finishing for me :-). I am sewing machine challenged, LOL. I also sent her one of the SB ornaments for Christmas.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with lots of stitching gifts, I have a few under the tree :-), and most important, happy times spent with family and friends. I am so thankful to be able to celebrate the birth of our Savior with people I love and cherish.
Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11
