Lately, the Advent season has been keeping us busy as we prepare for Christmas. So far, so good with me keeping my cheerful spirit in tact. I have been staying up a little too late making,
baking,
wrapping,
shopping (online, of course),
and doing all things Christmas.
I have recently developed a recurring eye twitch that is 100% related to the amount of sleep I get. I am not sure why I cannot get to bed earlier. All I know is that I seem to be very productive during the late night hours. And tonight's challenge will be to finish our Christmas cards.
I don't know what my problem is with these this year. Wait a minute. Yes, I do. I am not a fan of this chore. I adore getting Christmas cards in the mail, but I am not a fan of sending them. But, I know if I don't send 'em, I won't get them. I have had all the stuff and my list of recipients ready for a couple of weeks, but I have put it off (along with cleaning the house and the laundry).
Besides the cards, the only other major Christmas preparation task is wrapping. I am also a huge fan of a beautifully wrapped package and am obsessed with ribbons and hanging "to/from" tags. Obsessed sounds a little harsh, but I am super into the presentation.
But because of this, I end up spending (probably) too much time on each package. If I don't start cranking out the gift wrapped packages, I will never get it all finished.
And last, but certainly not least, I can't forget to mention that we are a mere 4 days away from the BIG day.

I remember those days very well .. wanting everything to be perfect :-) I always stayed up too late. For some reason, when the "kids" were in bed (Ken included), I found new energy. The day itself was done and this was MY time. Be careful not to burn your candle at both ends .. altho, I know I did at times :-)
