Or -however- that's spelled.

I am the Queen of Christmas preparation! Only not. But I feel like it today! I wrapped a -mound- of gifts last night, every single one of which will be shipped off to various places in Texas, hopefully this afternoon. Giftwrapping took about three hours. Then I ran to Wawa for subs, inhaled food, and spent another two hours making out Christmas cards. The wrapping isn't entirely done, but anything that has to be mailed is done, which is the massive lion's share of it. The cards, on the other hand, are done. Done Done Done. I have to take them to the post office, slap stamps on them, and mail these suckers! Woohoo! Ironically, I noticed that while we buy a vastly larger amount of gifts for Dean's family than my family (not unfair, he just has a lot more immediate family), my family gets a vast amount more Christmas cards. I'm not sure why it is that I must exchange cards with every living relative I have pretty much, but given that I've got multiple branches of family tree, it takes a while. Add in all my friends from my MU*ing days, and I plow through the cards.
