If you want to be mean to your family, buy a ton of Christmas candy but do not let them have any. I have been recruited to decorate for my gym’s Christmas party, and I jumped at the chance because apparently I forgot the pain and stress of my kid’s school walk-a-thon. The event is very formal and I have to say it is a bit intimidating. No cardboard cutouts or pool noodles can be used in this one. I have no clue why I put myself through this. People say  the word “Party” and I am instantly filled with ideas and energy, and then it’s back to the craft store. I filled up on LED lights and sparkly things. Let’s just hope I can pull this off. I have to make 7 centerpieces and I only have 8 days left to get it together.
