Yay! DD (7) helped with her room so I only had to really concentrate on DS's room (he's only 2, so tried to 'help' but ended up drifting off and doing something else).

Off to do fun things this afternoon - they are painting salt dough decorations for the tree, I will be icing cakes, wrapping the final presents and generally chilling out.

Enjoy the rest of your day
