Christmas is a special time for me. Being born around this holiday, I have a special fondness for the month of December. But December is quickly slipping past me. I am running around like a chicken without a head. Every moment is either scheduled or spent trying to catch up on all that needs to be done. My house is a mess. I haven’t even begun my Christmas shopping.
What’s more, I have a company party tomorrow night and haven’t even thought about what dress I will wear to it. As for the SHOES, that will be another problem; I don’t want to jeopardize my foot healing but I, also don’t want to look funny.
We have a little kickback family thing that we do. DD has already inquired on the “plan” to verify that the seemingly simple traditions will occur. New ornaments for the year (1 per family member) opened on Christmas Eve, presents and “Dad’s (Tom) breakfast”, a family hike, and a nice steak dinner. I have much to do just to get prepare for it. Namely, the presents still need to be purchased.
