I haven't been posting the last week. Not because I've been shopping, baking, and doing the seasonal fa la la la laing. No, I've been sick. Not sure if it was a bad cold or maybe even the flu. I went home early on Monday, and actually called in sick on Tuesday. I'm still dragging a bit; I think I'll be back to normal in a day or two. So in a way, I've lost a week of December. An important week with many things to be done. In my frustration and trying to write a to do list I realized that I should not look at how many things I have to do but how many things I haven't done. Here is a partial list:
I haven't made a cute picture of the dogs and printed Christmas cards. But that's okay, I might do an after Christmas card. After all the blessings of Christmas should continue into the new year. And if I don't send out cards, that's okay, too. I've had several years without sending cards and believe it or not, we still had Christmas!
I haven't finished decorating the house, or so I think. Jaydon helped me get up the tree last weekend, and helped get some of the outside lights up tonight. I still have decorations in closets and storage buckets. I wanted to put up another small tree in the house, too. Oh dear! If I don't get the decorating done I'm sure we will still have Christmas!
I had bought some new floral picks and wanted to re-do several wreaths and a spray. The picks are still in the bag. The re-do may or may not happen. We will still have Christmas!
I wanted to decorate my office. Oh yes, a small tree, a Christmas wreath, a basket or two. I had it all planned. The question is that now that we are this close to Christmas do I really want to load up all the stuff and tote it up to the office and set it up only to reverse the process in a few weeks. I think we will still have Christmas even if this doesn't happen.
I haven't baked any cookies, or anything for that matter. I can do this after Christmas. After all we will still have Christmas, with or without the baked goods.
That's a start to what I haven't done. Yes, I have done a few things. I successfully pulled off my office party and ushered at the Messiah, so check those items off the list. I know that Christmas is coming whether I'm prepared or not. And I know there is more to the meaning of Christmas than cards and decorations. Right now I'm curled up with Jaydon watching "Home Alone 2", a real classic. This is what is important, making memories.
