On the 12th day of Christmas....

my true love said to me...wow, we finally have a Christmas tree! Yes folks, we just finished putting up our Christmas tree. I know it's 12 days away from Christmas but like I said before we were away and when we got back we realize that Christmas was just around the corner. I have done only minimal decorating and so far I have not done any Christmas shopping either. I'm not really sure when I'll even get my shopping done. There's just so much to do right now that I'm feeling overwhelmed. We have 3 parties to attend on Saturday-- 2 birthday parties and Greg's office Christmas party. I'm planning to just take things one day at a time.

I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year. Except, this year I feel so unprepared. I'm not even sure what to get the people on my list for Christmas. When you get back from vacation it's always hard getting back into the swing of things. I feel like things are moving too fast right now and I'm trying my best to catch up. If I buy one gift before the end of this week then I will be happy that I made some progress. I've just decided to focus on the kids first and get their gifts out the way then I can worry about everyone else. I'm dreading how much it will cost too. Since we just got back from our vacation we will have to shop on a budget. I usually shop on a budget regardless but usually I have more time. It's a lot easier to shop on a budget when you have more time. I'm just going to have to do the best that I can and keep on moving. In the end it will all work out.

And no matter what I WILL have a Merry Christmas because I know the true reason for the season.
