Saturday Puzzle-Contest! Counting Down to Christmas!
Saturday, December 17th, 2022

UPDATE: The winner is…Peggy Fowler!
*~*~*

Eight days to Christmas in the Devlin house! My daughter has all her gifts bought and wrapped. I bought my last gift last night online. I have ALL my gifts to wrap. Does anyone LIKE wrapping gifts? That’s the thing I procrastinate over. If I could, I’d pay one of the kids to do it for me. I know—bad Nina! Anyways, I have some editing to do today. Some WRAPPING (if I can make myself do it), a bunny cage to clean, maybe a fish tank to freshen… I think I’ll skip making my bed because I might try to slip back into it for a nap (something I never do, but it really sounds kind of wonderful right now). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Good luck with the contest!

Solve the puzzle, then tell me how you’re getting ready for the holidays for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!

    The only thing I was concerned about was picking up what my hubby and I would have for christmas dinner. The only present or wish I want is my husbands health. He’s not well right now.

    2:34 Christmas has been tough. The little one age 1.5 was just discharged today from the hospital. He has RSV but he is doing much better

    5:40 – I was interrupted. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)

    The house is clean, the gifts are wrapped, most of the food has been bought.

    I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

    So happy all the kids are home for the next two weeks! That’s all we really need 🙂 And I don’t mind wrapping, honestly–might still have some shopping though, LOL!

    completed puzzle in 4:48. Nice one. Thanks for using it as your puzzle this week.

    Low key Christmas. Have pretty much bought and decorated. Leaving for the wrapping for this week but as a procrastinator, I’m sure I’ll be meeting Santa Christmas Eve night still wrapping. I have vivid memories of wrapping way into the night in many years gone by watching (more like listening to) the Vatican midnight mass (nothing else on tv in those days as all I had was antenna and no dish type devices were even a thing then).

    Happy holidays to you and yours Delilah.

    4:15- I only need to wrap three more presents and try out a new recipe my dad really wants then I’ll be done. The christmas music helps me to focus, too.
