I have had company staying for a week now. Yesterday my son and his family joined us for a wonderful Christmas celebration! We had a ball! Played bunco and boggle..opened gifts and had a big ham dinner. My daughter and her family are leaving tomorrow. The house looks like it blew up! There are so many packages...and other things laying around that you can hardly walk through a room. But it's been wonderful! How is your house looking after the Christmas celebration?

Hi Jill, I will add another game to your boggle and bunco, SNAP, your description sounds just like my house right now. I have had a real lazy day today and other than walking the dog I haven't done a lot. Most itmes are still where they were when the girls left last night plus added extras as my son is now taking notice of other things he had been bought. I love it, there is always tomorrow. Huggles. Ellie :D

THey left this morning.....I tried not to cry but I did...I just about have everything back in place....towels are nearly washed just have to strip the beds and do the sheets....but it was well worth it.....I already miss them.

Oh Jill, I know how you feel, even though I still have my son here with me the girls have gone so I have had tears myself. My eldest is off to Mexico on New Years Eve Cancun I think she said, don't know where it is your sister is getting married. All exciting though eh! Bit of an anti-climax after all the hustle and bustle, I'm sorted and cleared up now too. Huggles. Ellie :D

My house is looking ok right now. I do need to dust either today or tomorrow morning. BUT my house will look like yours after tomorrow afternoon or evening. My daughter and grandson will be here sometimes tomorrow afternoon or evening. I still have packages under my tree waiting for them to come to open. They will be staying here through the new year then will head back before school starts back up.

Our house actually doesn't look so bad. It definitely could look a lot worse but it's actually rather clean compared to Holidays past where the entire house is covered in nothing but wrapping paper and haphazardly placed gifts. I'm kind of glad it's not so messy because I'm usually the one that has to clean everything up.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17704)   ranked 1 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I am almost all put back together. They left this morning....and most of it was cleaned up by the time they got their stuff all loaded...just a few more gifts to put away...then I am taking a very big nap!

My house looks fine. As it was just my husband, myself and three kids for Christmas. We place wrapping paper in garage bag as soon as they come off the packages. But I remember days when visiting relatives when I did not live 1200 miles away from them. Christmas was a blast. The clean up was always fun to. as everyone pitched in together.


myLot reputation of 100/100. jillhill (17704)   ranked 1 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

By the time they left most of the mess was cleaned up....just a few things left to do and I'll be back to normal! Woo Hoo!

Actually, I went over my sister's house on Christmas Eve. We had so much fun over there.
My Granddaughter was the life of the party. She will be two in February, and what a comedian she is. By the end of the night she looked like a wild woman, haha, just playing in all the paper and throwing it around, giggling all the way. Sort of like she was playing in a bunch of fall leaves and just thought this was great fun. She is the spirit of Christmas for all of us since everyone is an adult, her presence makes us all kids again.

That is so very very true!

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but that darn virus took over on my computer, ugh! Darn thing wouldn't let me go anywhere.

Thanks again!!

I know the feeling that's what I've spent all morning this morning doing is cleaning up from yesterday, Im so glad the my mom took 3 out of 4 of my kids home with her you would have thought a tornado had went through here especailly the living room. LOL. It was a ton of fun though so I dont mind the cleanup.

I actually moved it all around today to get up some of the needles from the tree. my mom alawys keeps on the cleaning and although i'm not TOO worried about the toys on the floor all the time since we are at her house right now i keep them tidey all the time for the most part. xmas morning the house had blown up like yours though! paper and toys and clothes and candy EVERYWHERE lol.

I don't envy you trying to walk amongst the packages on the floor.. one of my friends house always looks like a hurricane hit it on Christmas. You have to watch where you step, or you will step on something and break it. I stepped on a musical keyboard one year and my friend ended up giving it to me, since I broke it.. I paid her for it... Luckily it was just a Dollar Store musical keyboard.. whewww!

That was very lucky!
