So it’s December 1st…how ready are you for Christmas?
I haven’t even started thinking about it, which puts me in a minor state of panic. You see, up until last year, I was one of those hyper-organized Xmas types…you know, the kind that had all her shopping done by the end of November, house decorated, music playing and cards ready to mail out on December 1st, and wrapping and baking done by the 10th at the latest. This year, however? Not so much.
So far I haven’t even started a gift list (never mind the actual shopping), I have no idea where I put the cards I bought on sale last year, the thought of decorating makes me want to crawl under the bed (to hide, not look for the decorations!), and I’m seriously considering the possibility of purchasing the requisite cookies and other treats.
Okay, so maybe minor panic is a bit of an understatement. Sigh.
Still, there’s 24 days left, right? And now that proofreads are done for Sins of the Son, I should (theoretically) have plenty of time in which to get my act together, right? I mean, really, how hard can decorating-listing-buying-wrapping-writing-mailing-baking-entertaining be, RIGHT?
(Work with me here, people…and please let me know I’m not alone in just beginning contemplation of the holidays!) 😉
