Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve day and I'm actually fairly organized. I may run out to the store this afternoon for a couple of stocking stuffers, but aside from that I'm all set. Pretty impressive when as of Thursday I hadn't even started shopping. Yup, I'm one of those last minute people. I do however have a ridiculous amount of wrapping to do.

Tonight, I will visit family that I won't be seeing tomorrow, exchange gifts, then it's home to watch A Christmas Carol--A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve has been a tradition since I was old enough to stay up to watch it.

Since it's Christmas, I'm giving away The Witch's Stone today and tomorrow over at Amazon. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

It's Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas

 

So we put our Christmas tree up this weekend. We're actually quite late this year. Normally, we put it up towards the end of November, or by the first weekend in December at the latest. But running behind seems to be the story of my life these days.

Actually, this was a very productive weekend. Not only did I make my word count on Saturday and Sunday, I cleaned the house, paid some bills, got the laundry done and even had an evening out with hubby and friends. Now, however, I feel like I need a weekend to recover from the weekend.

Conversely, I haven't even started Christmas shopping. I tend to be a last minute shopper anyway. If I start too early, I tend to over think and doubt myself. If I wait until I have to get it done, I'm much more decisive. Still, when I'm frazzled in the malls two days before Christmas,  I'm sure I'll be cursing and promising myself I'll start in July next year.

How's everyone elses' Christmas shaping up?
