The Christmas Rush is beginning - I can feel it. I am so calm and organised (or so I think!) and then all of a sudden I realise how close it is and PANIC...
OK, I know I still have lots of time. Here is my list of things to do
Finish shopping for my 15 year old ( I have every other gift I need to get but he is so hard to buy for this year and hasn't really asked for anything in particular, oh dear)put up tree and decorationsWrap gifts - I have already started (see pic) but only done a few. Plan on doing a few each day rather than a lot in one sitting- make a list of food needed for Christmas lunch and for our annual Christmas day family party
- shop for non perishable food and drink
write cardspost cardspost last few presents going by mail- go on a crash diet so can fit into new skirt - no more Turnocks Teacakes whilst wrapping (see pic)
- bake gingerbread house and
cookies for tree
Tree is up.
J loves the decoration pictured below. I hate it but I haven't got the heart to tell him. I actually like the wreath and sentiment but I don't like the angel. Would it be terrible of me to give it a makeover before next year? I was thinking of a softie angel or similar. He has just been admiring it, oh dear.....
I love the tree! I love the paint on the walls, the sentinments are great but the angel is...but hey if J likes it why worry about it?

Tunnocks Teacakes yum! You are far more advanced than I am, I haven't even got the trees yet. Panic did you say panic.....

Yep, I recognise that feeling of panic. Funny isn't it Christmas comes at the same time every year but it still always takes me by surprise.

This entry reminds me of Bridget Jones. (I hope that isnt a bad thing!)
