Bah humbug 2024 + redemption

I make no secret of the fact that I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Call me a Grinch or a Scrooge  if you must because I just don't care for it.  Too much packed into a short time.
Once again I didn't start my normal shopping as early as I would have liked.  To clarify that is shopping for all the groceries that we need for the various Christmas activities.  I ended up going to Walmart four out of five days.  I really don't mind going usually but this was a bit much.  I usually forget something or pick up the wrong thing even though I keep an excel spreadsheet with  a list of things we need.  I don't think I did that this year but Lisa thought I didn't buy enough of some things.  We had plenty.
We had our normal "family" dinner on Sunday since that's about the only time we see our son.  Then on Tuesday we had our normal breakfast with our Nephew and his family.  Or course Bailey and her family come over too.  Then that night we had Lisa's family annual Christmas eve gathering.  The on Wednesday we had Christmas dinner.  To make matters worse the Packers played on a Monday night so there was another thing added into the mix. 
It's helped that Lisa's family no longer do Christmas dinner and we've moved breakfast to another day but it's a lot especially with the Monday night game.
Lisa has been chomping at the bit for redemption for her Thanksgiving debacle with the dressing and she got it.  Not her best but it was still really good and she's really getting the turkey thing down.
One thing I do like is watching the kids open the presents.  Greyson was fired up at the breakfast and of course that gets Dax going too.  Fun to watch.
