I DEFINITELY like it better than the cooking!
I've been thinking though back to when COVID started and how difficult it was to obtain things I needed. I'm not much of a prepper, but if the flu/covid goes where it's predicted when the colder weather sets in...making my list now and shopping a little for it every time I go to the grocery store for my regular shopping. Going from store to store looking for things like sugar is just not my favorite thing to do during the holidays.
And you got a brand new baby for Christmas - going to be a great holiday for you and yours!
I would rather shop in the middle of the night than a Saturday/Sunday before a holiday

In fact, when I attended college in a very populated area, I would do just that... grocery shop at Walmart around midnight - much to the horror of my mother. I loathe shopping with crowds. I avoid weekend shopping during regular seasons too! I just like to take my time while I plan it all out!
We haven't decided if we're here or at either of the grandparents this year, for either holiday otherwise I'd be planning my menus too. Regardless... with a baby on the hip, I'll have to tone down my bougie dishes a little this year
