Ok, can I just say that Christmas is coming early this year? Yes I know that it is has been celebrated on December 25th every day for the last what, 600 years? Yes I know that December 25th comes the day after December 24th every year. Somehow this year there has been a rip in the space time continuum and Christmas is EARLY! I'M NOT READY!!
For most of you, you know me. I am a planner. I carry a rather large, heavy planner with me 99% of the time. I plan what I need for everything: the Girl Scout camping trip took 3 pages, the last trip to Virginia took 2 pages and last Christmas I had 5 pages dedicated to lists and party planning. This year I have 1 page. I am very worried. We are heading to Virginia on Thursday and I have not got all the packing done.
I went through the "Gift Bag" on Thursday and it appears that minus the 4 gifts I have ordered but have not arrived yet we have gifts for everyone on the list. The gifts for Hubby and MAC have been done since before Thanksgiving but I am still worried. For the first time in the 13 years of our marriage we decided not to buy for Hubby's whole family. As the youngest of 4 children and then a step sister Hubby has 14 people in the immediate family. It was always difficult to buy everyone something they wanted and once we no longer saw them it made it even more difficult. (As an example my one niece is still 16 in my mind, of course she is a mother and has been married for 3 years now.)
Christmas always comes together, but somehow this year it feels as if things are not right. We have not put up any decorations this year (even at work) because we have been so busy with other things. Yes, there has been a rip in the space time continuum...2010 is almost over!
