All of this sounds great, but when it comes to my favorite time of the year I have a hard time cutting back. It's not what others expect, it's what I expect of myself. I expect too much this time of year. Fortunately, Ross is a big help, but I'm thinking the kids could be more helpful with holiday chores. Hmm, not there's a thought. Delegate! [Wink]

It reminds me of the time I had my son and his girlfriend help with baking. They made some appetizer with sausage and left out the Bisquick. [Eek!]

We can get the kids to wrap, shop, bake, decorate, clean, etc., etc. How's that for an idea?
