Organize/borrow all serving platters you’ll need for Christmas dinner. Create a cooking schedule, giving yourself time to prepare some foods the day before so you aren’t in the kitchen all day when company is visiting. Order flowers for out-of-state relatives. [...]

Sometimes the goodness in people can be overwhelming … I guess it is a good attempt to make up for all our wrong doings. What an inspiration the gifts are … and what an inspiration YOU are for organizing this drive. Way to go!!
