- Do not make a To Do list.
- Do not attempt to make more than 2 kinds of cookies.
- Do not buy a fancy dress plus accessories for the fashion-unconscious toddler.
- Do not spend countless hours of frustration trying to shoot portrait of fancy-dressed toddler for Christmas cards. In fact, don't get frustrated over ANY attempted photos.
- Do not send Christmas cards. (My love of stationery may cause me to cheat on this one.)
- Do not even think about Target or Michael's. Or Amazon. Or etsy. Or ebay.
- Do not stick to the same old costly and aggravating Christmas gift-giving routine.
- Do not go to Starbucks. Cross your fingers that they are NOT selling those mint brownies that were my weakness in Christmases past.
- Do not secretly hope for a new ipod or a new camera lens.
- Do not flake out and do all the things on the Do Not list two days before Christmas.
But I DO plan to continue the Mamarazzi tradition of The 25 Days of Christmas...
So here is numero uno.
oh my goodness that picture is sweet. You mean to tell me that you won't go to Starbucks all month? Wow - that is some serious self control. Egg Nog lattes are my fav.

Dawn took the words right out of my mouth - that is the most perfect Christmas card ever. The JOY on the mantle is a wonderful nod to Miss Evie - You must print and send immediately. If I cannot be you, I want to share in your glow.

FABULOUS photo. I love the 'do not' list.

I love this list. Love. It. I'd adopt it as my very own, except I've already got a few (okay, several!) to-do lists scattered around my house. But, no more lists, I promise!
