Santa Claus |
So, 9 days to go and this is where I'm at.
I have managed to buy a couple of presents so far and...that's it. I still have most of the presents to buy. I haven't written my cards yet. I have no wrapping paper. I have no food bought. We have a houseful of people staying over Christmas and I haven't started getting any of the rooms ready for them. The tree hasn't been bought yet and all the decorations are still in the attic. I hope you're beginning to get the picture. I am completely and totally NOT ready for Christmas!! Am I worried about this?
My way of looking at it is that I now really feel like it's Christmas and so I'm feeling motivated. (A little bit of snow would help even more). I still have over a week to go and once I find my Christmas CDs and start playing them at full volume there will be no stopping me. My way of thinking is that I've never yet met anyone who missed Christmas through not being organised. No-one I know has ever said 'Do you know, Christmas Day arrived and I still hadn't bought a single present' or 'I didn't have a single piece of food in the house on Christmas Day'. We all get there in the end albeit by the skin of our teeth sometimes.

And there you have it. Day 9 and I've at last started to feel Christmassy. Hopefully by the time I post tomorrow I will be slightly more organised.
I'm now off to write my cards so...
...until the next time,
