Gearing up for Chritsmas

As is the norm, mom is burning up the phone wire in order to confirm, and reconfirm (again, and again) our Christmas plans. These include, date and time of when I’ll pick her up at the ferry, where we’ll have Christmas dinner, who will attend dinner, which SO/SIL is attached to which granddaughter, here or in the South, that she’ll carry her gift onto the ferry rather than ship them ( as she planned previously), and letting me know six times which neighbor will take her to the ferry.
