And That’s….the Truth

Last night my husband asked me what I really wanted for Christmas. And you know what?? For the life of me I really couldn’t think of anything. Yes, I have been checking online for new engagement rings but he informed me that he isn’t purchasing me more jewelry. So except for jewelry, there really isn’t anything that I want that I don’t already have. So I think for once my Christmas presents from him this year will really be a surprise to me. After all if I haven’t asked for anything, I couldn’t possibly guess what he will pick up.

So as you all know there is only four more days left until Christmas. And… I am happy to report that I am almost ready for the holiday season. I have a few more things to wrap, I need to find my bicone beads and finish a necklace and bracelet set for my father in law’s wife and need to deliver these presents to them as well. Other than that, I think I’m ready for the season. I do realize that I’ve probably forgotten something so will probably be wrapping or shopping on Christmas Eve, but for now I’m just living in my own little dream world that for once I’ll be finished with all this Christmas preparation before December 24th.

Every year I wonder why we as “people” go crazy this time of year! We spend about two months cleaning, cooking and shopping and this is done all for one day! And… every year the Christmas hussle and bussle seems to be getting earlier and earlier. So normally around this time of year I start to get a little tired of Christmas. Oh I know it’ going to come and I’ll be ready for it. But honestly after all this stress and work I really have to start wondering if it’s all worth it. Oh well, Christmas is supposed to be for the kids and since I still have two little people at home I’ll have to suck it up and get through it. But I do think that things are going to change around here when the kids are grown and out of the house.

With the upcoming season fast approaching I have made out of list of things I need to get done and let me tell you all it’s not pretty. Yes I know I still have a couple of months but honestly by looking at this list, I really have to wonder how I’m going to get it all done. I really wish I could afford to hire durham maid service to do all my cleaning so I could at least mark that off my list. But… I can’t so I guess that’s something I’ll have to do myself. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas, I just hate the amount of work it takes to get ready for it. Oh well, it only comes once a year so I guess I can just suck it up.

I ask myself this question every day. Where did the time go this year?? It seems like it was only yesterday when I was bustling around trying to get our family and home ready for Christmas. And now Christmas is just around the corner and I’m starting to do all this bustling once again. Every year I put off my purchasing, wrapping, cleaning and baking but not this year. This year I am determined to have it done way ahead of time so I’m not struggling at the last minute. I’ve already made a couple of purchasing online and have been checking out some Luminox watches for my husband. Hopefully I can keep this up and in December I will be posting that I am all ready for Christmas ahead of time. Time… will tell I guess.

Both my husband and I are on our final week’s vacation this week. Even though we’re on vacation it’s still be a pretty busy week. Today is my daughter’s birthday and tomorrow is my son’s. So we’ve been doing a lot of family stuff this week. Then on the weekend we have been invited to a housewarming party and I’ve already been asked to bring a small gift for the new homeowner and found a suitable gift I think. And… we hope to get a little camping in this weekend as well if the weather co-operates. So as you can see, it’s been a busy week and the fun isn’t over quite yet.
