Holiday Hustle and Bustle

This week has been a bit busy, to say the least. I am a slug – have not been able to get in a run all week (pretty soon I’ll be a heavy-weight slug if I don’t get back to the pavement!). Christmas shopping is almost completed, but there is no tree up, though I did manage to find the girls’ Christmas stockings before St. Nick’s day and both girls’ were rewarded nicely by St. Nick for being so cool for an entire year.

Perhaps a tree this weekend, if time allows. Maybe some other house decorations. Oh, perhaps a poinsettia (though I really don’t have a place to set one). Maybe some presents will get wrapped. And maybe I will purchase the last of the gifts. Christmas cards are doubtful this year, to say the least, unless I send them after Christmas.

The nice part is – I am completely calm about all of this! If something doesn’t get done, Christmas will still be fine. I will be able to spend time with my kids, my new guy and his kids, friends at a holiday gathering or two. Gosh, how things have changed.

Oh, and there is still one challenge…Santa always brings me a present (he has for years). And this year I can’t quite figure out what to ask him for. Hmmm…..
