9 Moons Ago

I’ve no idea where I’m going with this entry, but we shall see. It’s just off the top of my head. Confessions may be made.

Such as it’s inching nearer to Christmas and we haven’t sent one Christmas card. We haven’t even got a pack of cards in the house, nor stamps. Oh, I intend on sending some, but doubt ye not, they’ll be late.

We do have the tree in the front room, but most of the light strands are burnt out. One dinky strand of 20 lights just ain’t cuttin’ it. Especially since the tree is taller than last year’s. I plugged in the lights anyway. It looks hilarious. But too pathetic to take a picture of…

Melissa gave me an Advent calender in November. Here in Australia, they have a small piece of chocolate behind each door. The temptation of having chocolate in the house became too great. Hence I ate it all. Before December.
In my defence, I shared it with Cam.

My family has two packages on the way to us. Did I mention we don’t even have cards in the house?

Last year I decorated the house, up to and including my desk. This year I’m thinking,”Yeah, I could put up a lot of decorations, but that’s a lot of decorations to take down in January, and at this rate I have a feeling they’d all be up till February or March” We have a few, and I think that’s gonna be this year’s theme: Minimalist.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not being a Scrooge. I love Christmas..it’s my favourite holiday. It just sort of snuck up on me…as did my chocolate craving. I bought some candy canes last night, we’ve been listening to the classic songs, there are some decorations in the window and stockings by the chimney, and we WILL be getting more lights..it’s just, how did the 14th of December get here already? I blame it on the hot weather. It throws me off. But, even if you’re not in the Southern Hemisphere, don’t feel bad for being unprepared. You’re in good company. :-) And, if you ARE prepared, we got your Christmas card this week. Thank you, it’s just lovely.
