Well, this Christmas is a little lower key so I’m not too stressed or worried about getting very much done. But there are things that both DH and I need to finish before Sunday morning. It’s a 100% homemade Christmas this year.

1. Labels/packaging for some of the gifts.
2. Replenish my lavender and chamomile essential oils.
3. Use #3 to finishing a few of the gifts.
4. Possibly test out a few more recipes.
5. This isn’t a have to, but an article in the latest Cook’s Illustrated has me wanting to try making chocolate truffles again.
6. Maybe, bake the lemon Swedish cookies I made a few years back. Truthfully, so many of us are watching what we eat I may not bother. Pepperkakor is certainly sufficient and that is made and in the freezer.
7. Work out! I’ve had a slow start to working out this week. I need to end the week strong so I feel like I can indulge a little over the weekend. I’m oh, so close to my year-end weight goal, but it has frustratingly sat 1.5 pounds out of reach since Thanksgiving. I think that is my new normal weight cycle though as that is how November worked, then in the last week I dropped almost 6 pounds in 2 days.
8. Watch a few more holiday movies that we haven’t gotten to yet - the old Bishop’s Wife, Hebrew Hammer and I’m pretty certain there are a few others.
9. While I’ve all but given up on having a Christmas sweater, I need to continue to move forward on it. I’ve got 2 pattern repeats down on the lower body.
10. Relax and enjoy my family and friends!

How about you?
