Making my list and checking it twice. Christmas gatherings are spread over several weeks and lists are mandatory for me as to what food is needed to be prepared for each location. No longer do I depend on the memory for that. These last years, I do enjoy the days right before Christmas to be low key and relaxed. When we were both working the W-2 Form jobs, that thought was far in the distance. For Dennis and me that time is here and we really have slowed down. We comment to each other often, how much we like it.
