There are two things I dread about the Christmas season arriving. One is the Christmas shopping that needs to be done (I hate shopping!!) and the other one is all the Christmas cleaning that has to be done as well. Well so far I have three rooms in the house cleaned, but I am far…. from done. This morning I tried to clean the kitchen, but with all the glass tile that needed to be cleaned and polished, I got a little tired and gave that particular job up for the day. So I have decided to try to clean up my home office instead and do the kitchen on a different day. I know it all has to be done sooner rather than later, but I just don’t have the energy for it today.

Every year I hand my husband a list of all the things that I would like for Christmas. Of course, I realize that I probably won’t get everything on the list, but at least by giving him the list, he has some idea of what I would like. This year on my list is modern furniture classics, a DS video game, clothes, a dishwasher, and a hair straightener. So as you can see by this list, I probably won’t get everything on it, but if gives me a couple of the items then the list making was well worth it.

I am such a smarty pants!! Every year I am mailing out the Christmas cards a little late. Most of my family and friends don’t get these cards till after Christmas. But this year things will be different. I bought the cards today and will spend the afternoon making them out. My husband is going to buy some stamps today and I’ll get them in the mail tomorrow. Hey, maybe my family and friends will actually get these cards before the big day!! I’m so proud of myself!
