I have been working on catching up with the year, and I think that for the second year in a row, the year has caught up with me.
I think I will just retain last year's to-do list and work my way down it in the usual fashion, adding a few projects for the very few that I was able to get done. I still have so many large projects.
It is my second Christmas away from my family, and I am not sure I will ever get used to that feeling. My Christmas Eve sewing really must be moved up to well before Thanksgiving so that things can be mailed on time. Christmas shopping must be started earlier and finished much earlier, I still have so much to do and it is almost the Eve now.
I think that I am glad not to have to do so much cooking, but I do miss the morning madness that is Christmas morning in a large family. It is something that just can not be duplicated.
And so with a few packages under the tree and a few to be wrapped for Christmas Day, a dinner planned and the new year routine settled in the books, I guess I am as ready as I can be, right?
