I don’t put up Christmas decorations anymore. I hate dragging them all out for just a couple of weeks and it makes me feel like my house is messier than it already is. Plus keeping the kitten out of everything just sounds like a huge chore.
I shopped right up until the 23rd and didn’t feel “ready” even when I was ready. Every year I say I’m gonna shop in the summer, wrap everything by Labor Day and then every year I’m still scrambling 2 days before Christmas. This year was especially hard because I’m trying not to drive too much (eye patch) and trying to find things in the store while holding one eye closed is impossible. Big thanks to my sister who carted me all over town to finish up my shopping.
This year was also especially lean money-wise and that’s no fun at all.
The actual celebration was a total whoop dee do fun time tho, as it always is at Amanda’s. Even if we have to sit in a certain place
.
…….and eat unintentionally flat things..
We get to go over to my dad and stepmoms tomorrow and do it all over again. Whee!
