The room could be totally closed off from the rest of the house. Someone would go in, start wrapping, & whomever else came along to wrap their presents had to ask permission for entry. It was exciting to be told, "No. Go away for a bit" as that meant someone in there was wrapping something for me!Sarah JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-33413290488591353912010-12-17T17:29:35.184+00:002010-12-17T17:29:35.184+00:00The sock is such a cheerful sight on this grey Ber...The sock is such a cheerful sight on this grey Berkeley morning! thank you.elsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62276950016047792922010-12-17T14:06:59.373+00:002010-12-17T14:06:59.373+00:00I always love to have a 'turkey in residence&#...I always love to have a 'turkey in residence' at Christmas. There always seems to be someone needing something to munch on. I may well be 'a day late and a dollar short' with this suggestion. Maybe for next year? See if you can find a Turkey Roaster of an appropriate size, I think they come in two sizes, for a medium or large turkey. Do up the turkey , pop it in the roaster and in fairly short order it is done to a turn. I know, it seems too good to be true but believe me the turkey will be delicious will very little interference from the cook.Mundihttp://tangledyarnsfromamenfarm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-21775074125386631782010-12-17T10:07:53.536+00:002010-12-17T10:07:53.536+00:00We used to wait until the kids were in bed, put in...We used to wait until the kids were in bed, put in the video of "It's a Wonderful Life" and wrap, hell for leather, until Clarence the angel got his wings. Anything that wasn't wrapped by that time was deemed "too big to wrap" and propped behind the tree!<br /><br />Now my kids are grown, and we are celebrating our "Family Christmas" on January 15, which is the first time we can gather the clan from Michigan, Chicago and New Hampshire. So I still have plenty of time to finish up shopping and wrapping. Christmas cards, unfortunately, are another matter and must be dealt with quite soon!<br /><br />Barbara M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26733494974022380002010-12-17T09:33:21.338+00:002010-12-17T09:33:21.338+00:00The sock is very bright and pretty!
