Christmas Reflections

It's time again to hurry up and get things done for Christmas. I felt pretty good about things until my Taxman reminded me, "It's only fourteen days until Christmas." That made my stomach flip-flop. It's just a habit. I've been experiencing panic-mode in the weeks preceding Christmas for so many years now, it's just my normal reaction.

I don't have that much to do really. Our own little family will be celebrating together the following weekend, in order to accommodate all the in-laws Christmas celebrations. Yes, we must share the kids and grandkids.

I'm running circles around my business though. You would think that since retiring from my caregiver role I'd have some time to just rest, but that's not the way it's working. I'm playing catch-up instead. Last Christmas I skipped my lengthy Christmas letter/collage. This year I'm hopeful that I've maybe got it in me somewhere...deep down. But now time is limited - tomorrow will be thirteen days 'til Christmas. ...and so on.
