I love Christmas time, but sometimes it just seems to get so hectic. This year it doesn't help that I'm still nauseous, exhausted, and alone. My neighbor and I co-chaired the Christmas shop at the elementary school this year. We've been shopping since August for clearance things to sell. We had a $1,000.00 budget and we spent it! We opened Tuesday morning and we had to go shopping by 10:30am to restock. We were crazy busy. Then we went shopping again Tuesday night because we sold all the stuff we bought in the morning. So this week has been just a little hectic. FedEx gave away free trees here on post on Wednesday, so of course I had to go get one. It's a nice tree, a little dried out, and a little fatter than I would have picked if it was unwrapped. But it is a FULL tree. As in short and fat. I'll get a picture on when it gets decorated. Hopefully I can get to it tonight. It needs to relax a little more, it still looks wrapped up. But I did get all my Christmas decorations up around the house and Tristan decorated his tree all by himself. He did a very good job for a 4 year old.
So all that's left to do before Christmas is finish shopping, make cookies, do Christmas cards, Tristan's program on the 14th, Playhouse Disney show on the 16th, Doug's home on the 18th, then Christmas here and then at Pekin and Lockport. Yep that's it.
