It's good to have goals, right? Here's my plan, in no particular order.
1. I'm going to send cards next year. This shouldn't be hard, as I've done them most years. Just not this one.
2. I'm going to make stockings for our family. Thank goodness there are only four of us. I haven't decided on a pattern or design yet, but I've been researching and thinking about it. Where did my mom find the time to make all of those sets of stockings way back when?
3. We're going to build Milan's Duomo out of gingerbread. This definitely is the most ambitious of the goals, and it'll likely have to be a simplified design. But my friend Kendra announced on Facebook today that she's building the Hagia Sophia out of gingerbread tonight, so why can't we do our local landmark, too?

I share your first two goals. I don't build things out of gingerbread though, landmark or otherwise. We want to see pictures of your creation though! :)
And, no offense to our mother but, think of all the things that needed to be done that didn't get done while she was making those stockings... I think you're doing a great job with life. Don't stress it!
Looking forward to hearing about them next year. The Hagia Sophia eh? That's pretty ambitious all right.
Merry Christmas Zoe! Do they still sell roasted chestnuts on the streets there? I never wanted to eat them but they smelled wonderful!
Stay away from the pigs' feet! That was the only food in Italy that made me gag! I can't wait to see your Gingerbread creation!
I toyed with the 'make our stocking' idea, too, but I think I'll just embellish the ones we have. Good luck with the Duomo! Maybe you can get Martha Stewart in on it and tape a live show from your newly painted kitchen. :)
