Is it Christmas yet?

I mailed 3 of the Christmas packages yesterday. Because I just haven't gotten in the "spirit" this year, I didn't wrap anything. I told Missy just to put the box under the tree and she could figure out who gets what. I sent most of the family stuff to Mom's. Since I'll be there in just over a week, figured I'd open the box and sort it out. I couldn't get everything in her box, so I sent a small box to Trina.

I just seem to have problems getting into Christmas this year. Not sure what's wrong, but I have even lost the knitting bug. I hope I get it back again fast. I still have things I need to do. Oh well, I can always put it off and make it "new year" gifts.

30 days..and counting


I started my Christmas knitting and buying back in Sept. You'd think that by now I'd be finished. No such luck. I always seem to be pushing it right to the last day. This year is no different.. Oh yes it is. I only have until 7 Dec to get it all together. I'm flying to Virginia to visit my Mom and then driving to Tenn to see daughter, Trina. So that means I have to get it together FAST. Not only do I have to finish knitting, I have to get it in the Mail. And do you think my husband will help? Why should he start this year? In the past 30 years I've only known him to buy a handful of gifts (mostly for me). And he's only mailed a gift once. I knit, purchase, pack and mail the gifts, including the ones for his mother. Not sure I'll make it this time. Oh well, maybe the kids will enjoy their "new year gifts".
