Holiday idea needed

[Cataholic]

I have a very large family, and this isn't an issue. BUT, sometimes, I would like to just sit at home and do nothing.

What I think might be nice for you, and it is an idea that I did a slight variation on....take a care package to an outfit that WILL be working that day, and make it special for them. I think you will get some serious returns there.

When Dakky was undergoing his blockage issues last year, he had to spend the 3 days before Christmas at the ER Vet. They allowed me to pick him up on Christmas Day. I took in a huge basket of ready to eat stuff, stuff that could go in the micro, stuff that could sit out without spoiling, etc. The ER clinic seemed very pleased with it.

Maybe you could do that to a couple of local places around you? Just a thought.

How about throwing a party and inviting all? Maybe not on the 24th but a week before of even after. You could have an ornament exchange or a white elephant gift exchange. My holiday party will be the end of January because that is when my son comes home. Most people ask what they can bring.
