It is officially the Christmas season. Now no one can argue with me that the holiday season has arrived. Of course, for me it has been going on for a few weeks. I need prep time.
My tree is about 95% finished, and that’s my biggest project for the holidays. I will finish it by the weekend.
I’m working on my Christmas cards tonight. I try to mail a majority of them the day after Thanksgiving. I dropped some in the box tonight already. Of course, I continue to send them throughout the season, but I try to get a lot of them out early.
People always give me a hard time about my Christmas card list. They joke about me working on them months in advance, but they would be hurt if they didn’t get one. It’s one of those things I’m somehow supposed to magically accomplish without ever working on. I experienced this at a former employer too – all these things were supposed to be done but I wasn’t ever supposed to be spending time on them. As of yet I’ve not figured out how to do that.
I had hoped to have a night to get together with friends and work on cards, but it didn’t happen. A couple of people had asked me about doing it and I suggested they host it. No one did – at least not that I was invited to. So, I did my cards as I always do. I would have enjoyed chatting with people while I was doing some of them but I just wasn’t in the mood to host it. I still have a number of them to do, but I have at least half of them done.
It has been a gorgeous Thanksgiving Day today – just beautiful. It was a fun day, with a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I hope you have had a great day. And, let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas!
