With the exception of one item I am ready for the gift-giving portion of Christmas. Gifts were purchased,wrapped and mailed to Michigan last week. Gifts for people in the area are wrapped and stored.
My dates to ring bells for the Salvation Army are set, the schedule is confirmed to volunteer at the Festival of Trees and the Mama Claus appearances are rolling in.
Why so early? Anticipation and preparation are part of the fun! By being prepared ahead of time I can truly enjoy the season. Concerts, church programs (where the kids get all squirmy and cry) can be enjoyed without the stress.
C'mon, jump on the preparation bandwagon and see the difference it makes this holiday season.
I'm with Grishmam....how about "Skipping Christmas this Year?" LOL Really, you are too much. I enjoy the true meaning of Christmas but not a lot of the hoopla.
ReplyDeleteOOOPS, I meant to say Grisham (as in John, the novelist!) Aren't you glad I finally figured out how to post a comment without having to sign my name in the anonymous column? When are you gonna repay the favor...LOL????
ReplyDeleteSOON! As soon as my husband teaches me how to do it. Computer crashing has taken priority :- )
