[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 100654, member: 3626"] Another one who does (yes, still!) the separate wrapping paper for Santa. There is nowhere in the house I can hide a gift. All have to be doled out to neighbors and friends and collected Christmas eve, to be wrapped Christmas morning since she'll sleep in and I'm up by 5:00 am. That's the only safe time! Don't expect eggnog, ginger ale, apple cider or any special drink to make it to Christmas day with a difficult child around. If it's a treat, it should be eaten and drunk as soon as possible! Even had to send her to store to get OJ on Thanksgiving morning so I could make my sweet potatoes -- she drank the bottle I'd bought on Tuesday. Don't tell your guests when your kitty has nibbled at the food -- just cut the chunk out and pretend you're a bad carver. When you have too many guests than planned for, don't worry -- give everyone a mini-plate of food and then tell 'em to scrounge what they can find. They won't care! They're there for you, not for your food! Relax and have fun! The perfect Christmas is usually the one with one major mishap, one dish that totally didn't come out right, a mini fight at the table, one kid whining about not getting enough after having opened presents non-stop for 45 minutes, a precious item broken by accident by the toddler and a house filled with laughter through it all.
