This is so creative! I love reading your blog! It is just simple and fun and always makes me laugh. (It also makes me sad because we don't even have a tree yet...)

that's why I have yet to make the fudge.....I eat it all before I can give it away to people (which is usually the whole reason I made it, so I tell myself) plus justin isn't a fan of our "nelson fudge" so I do literally eat 90% of it :)
I am super impressed that you have all your shopping done and wrapping? Can you come wrap my kids gifts?! :) that would be swell.
now I am thinking about the fudge that I wasn't going to make.....
