The week before Christmas is upon us and the realization is beginning to dawn on me that I need to get some of the things done that are expected around this time of year....like decorating, cooking, shopping, etc. Now I have to admit that I do have 3 gifts bought and the tree is up and decorated (just last night) so all is not lost yet.
I do admit that I am a person who reluctantly admits to enjoying Christmas. Oh, don't get me wrong...I love seeing friends and family, love to cook and eat all the goodies and even the decorating isn't bad. It's the shopping that I hate....the malls, the crowds, the $$$. I know, I know! I could shop early and avoid all of this chaos but for all of those who know me and how long I put things off, you know that this is an unrealistic expectation. Now, once it is all said and done, I love to watch my family on Christmas morning and how happy they are with all the little trinkets that they receive. I love to see how excited they are to buy that special little something for each other.
So, here I go....out into the wild and dangerous retail jungle. Wish me luck and if all goes well, I should be done by next Monday......What did you say?? Christmas is on Sunday!!! Oh, damn, better goooooooo....
