Today’s the 17th…so let’s see….25 minus 17 means there’s….EIGHT MORE DAYS until Christmas! There's still plenty of time left!
I'll start with our Christmas tree. Poor thing’s been sitting there naked except for three hundred lights and some garland. Easily squeezed in tonight after GG’s Christmas pageant. Oh – that reminds me….I didn’t tell GG’s Godparents about the pageant. That’s okay, I’ll call them after I’m done with this post. Cross that off the list. Back to the tree. I still have time to do it and…wait a minute: GG’s mini-tree needs ornaments too, and I’ve been promising her that we’d decorate it after she gets home from school. Perfect! We can do it before tonight’s pageant. Cross that off the list too.
Was I supposed to be calling someone about something?
GG’s Christmas shopping should be easy -- I know what she wants because she told me what she’s going to tell Santa she wants. Oh no, GG hasn’t visited Santa yet! We can’t very well have the gifts and tell her that Santa brought ‘em when she hasn’t even talked to him yet! I wonder how long that pageant’s going to be…Hmm...think I’ll call to see how long Santa’s at the mall once I’m done with this post. Perfect! We’ll just go see Santa after the pageant’s over. Back to shopping for GG, stores are open super late now, so I can still fit that in tonight after we see Santa after the pageant after we decorate the tree. Cross some more stuff off the list!
Who was I going to call again?
Whatever. After tonight, I’ll have another seven days to shop for Christmas dinner, even though I don’t even know what we’re having …think I’ll call Jamie & see what he thinks once I’m done with this post. Speaking of Jamie, I’ve still got time to shop for him, GG’s Godparents, my mother-in-law, my Godchild, my brother and his wife; get the Christmas Cards in the mail; clean the house and hopefully find the Jimmy Buffet Christmas CD that hasn't been seen since last Christmas.
So you see, eight days is plenty of time….Now, why am I calling Jamie again?
