If I thought last year had passed in a jiffy, it seems that this year it’s even more the case. In fact, it’s gone by and keeps going by so fast that Eric and I even missed lighting our Advent candle this year. Ironically, we’d been talking about doing it and setting up for it and all that only to miss it.
Thank goodness that in some parts of the world it’s still yesterday. It’s cheating, but we agree that it’s the thought that counts and so here we are, all pretty and bright and ready. According to Hawaiian time, we’re punctual. lol.
So, what are our big plans for this Christmas?
As usual, we have lots of ideas of what we would like to do, but time, money, etc. will be a factor. Right about now, I don’t really feel in the mood to mobilize my lazy butt yet. Eric did dig out our box labelled ‘Christmas Tree and Decorations’, but that’s sitting with an air of pregnant anticipation in the corner that we’ve cleared for the tree.
And given that that‘s all that’s sitting pregnantly around the house at the moment, I guess our plans to have a great-grandchild all gift-wrapped and excited for my grandma are going to have to be shelved this year. We’ve not even started on the Christmas Stollen yet, much less put any other bread in the oven. Eric did say that we should prepare a loaf in the breadmaker today if we intend to have bread for breakfast tomorrow.
SO much to do, so little time…
