Looks like I'm not doing too shabby on my list. But I've got plenty more to do. If it doesn't all get done--dah well. I just want to enjoy this time and not let the little things stress me out. I don't think that's what Christmastime is about.
Gotta go watch a Christmas movie!

What a great list! I agree with you about not stressing this season. Stress causes you to miss so much and I refuse to miss this special time. Good job Raelynn!
One cannot celebrate Christmas without watching It's a Wonderful Life. I don't know who Kathy is, but I don't think we can be friends.. at least during the holidays.
and i cant believe you are copying Archie's cd.. would you really take away from your fave's cd sales? Awesome that you were able to see him in concert!
and yes! a fellow Carpenters fan! I love their Christmas CD and it makes me totally nostalgic since I listened to it every Christmas as a kid.
I still need to listen to Archie's CD. Sounds like I'm missing out!
i'll split your egg nog with kristen and i'd love to watch it's a wonderful life with janet. i know it's her fave. i can't believe how many people have NOT seen that show. i have a copy if someone needs to borrow it. and also...i really don't care for (i typed hate but that seemed so strong) a christmas story. it's lame and dumb and i don't care to ever watch it again. i also own a copy and if anyone would like it i'd be happy to give it away.
i can't wait to watch "love actually" and family fam.
