On Friday, we'll be home decorating. I plan on making a few pomanders and baking off some orange slices, along with making ornaments out of applesauce and cinnamon and a few out of cinnamon sticks. We'll have Christmas carols playing in the background the whole time. Later, after dinner, we've already planned on playing a couple of hands of Zombie Flux and then will probably watch the first Christmas movie of the season.

I think my day sounds much more relaxing than fighting crowds at the store.
