Are you going mad with the holidays? I am! I can't believe
Christmas is less than two weeks away. I've barely managed to get my Christmas
cards out and I've gotten gifts for only one person. ACK! This is definitely my
favorite time of the year, but there is so much still to do!!!
I used to be the type of person who started decorating the
weekend after Thanksgiving. My tree went up, the Christmas music filled the
house and I made cookies with my niece and nephew. I'd drive around the
neighborhood to see the lights and decorations people put up in their yards.
I'd enjoy searching out gifts for all my relatives and close friends. By this
time, in the past, I would've had most of my shopping done and I'd be wrapping
the gifts and arranging them under my tree while watching It’s a Wonderful
Life, A Christmas Carol or The Holiday.
But this year, I have yet to even put up a single
decoration! After Thanksgiving, I kept putting off the holiday activities
because I had too much to do. I figured I had plenty of time to get the work
done and once I finished my other work- edits, cleaning, job hunting, day jobs-
I'd have plenty of time to do my shopping. But this past Tuesday, my publisher
told me my next book, Simple Treasures, would be available
on Christmas Day. When I pulled out my calendar and realized it was only TWO
WEEKS away, I panicked! I've got soooooo much still to do and, if I want to
enjoy any of the season, I better get busy as soon as possible. So, while you
are visiting here and the other sites for the Mistletoe Madness Blog Hop I will
be jumping in, feet first, to my holiday plans.
Now, it is a holiday, gift-giving time of the year, so I am
planning to give you a present! Tell me. Are you all ready for the holiday? Do
you enjoy it? Or are you like me, scrambling now to get your home decorated and
all your gifts wrapped? Leave a comment and you will be in the running for a
Christmas treat from me! I'll take comments for the length of the Blog Hop and
