There are 13 days until Christmas, which is less than 2 weeks away and I don't even have my tree up yet. If you know me; I normally have my house/yard decorated, all the gifts bought and wrapped and under the tree and just relaxing while everyone else is going crazy. Well, this year, it's me the one going crazy.
I have gotten down all the Christmas boxes from my attic and have all but 3 gifts bought; but I don't have my tree up, my yard isn't decorated and none of the gifts have been wrapped.
Is it because I'm getting older and really don't care as much anymore or just that I'm so busy working 2 jobs and just doing other things to get anything done?
I'm pretty sure it's because I'm working 2 jobs and I just don't feel like I have time or energy to do anything else. I had planned on putting up the tree last night but then got called in to work at Old Navy. I was there until 11:30 last night, so I came home, winded down and went to bed around 1:15.
I need to make a list of things to do so that they get done, and SOON.
1) Put up and decorate Christmas Tree
2) Decorate yard
3) But 3 more presents (can't do this until next Weds)
4) Wrap presents that I do have
5) Take gifts to work for coworkers
My mom did #5 for me. When we went to Kentucky, I found these mini loaf pans that were ceramic and decorated. They were cute and a great deal so I purchased 13 of them. My mom made her Friendship bread in each loaf pan and wrapped them in red saran-wrap and put them each in a Christmas bag. They are so cute and I really appreciate her doing this. She even put a green bow on each of them. Way to go, MOM!!!! You're the best.
So, #5 will be crossed out today. Speaking of work, I have 25 minutes to get ready and out the door. Have a great day!
