You would think that with only eleven days until Christmas, I would have all of my gift shopping, wrapping, and holiday baking done. But, alas, that is not the case. In fact, I have not even started yet.
Last weekend was chalk full with a book club meeting and ladies day out, grocery shopping, laundryy-ing, and youth group with the high school kids. I guess I did bake a small batch of shortbread cookies Friday night because I was in the mood to bake, and I felt very Christmas-y with Michael Buble's Christmas Special on in the background. However, I've devoured those cookies long before they can even find a place under the Christmas tree.
This year, I'm doing something different with gifts. It's our first Christmas juggling where and when we'll be spending Christmas festivities with the families as we were in Texas last holiday season for our first Christmas together. Music Man suggested moving back to Texas for a bit so we wouldn't have to stress out about the abundance of traveling and Christmases. But in reality, we're looking forward to families, and I'm hoping for a stress-free gift giving as I venture into the world of homemade gifts.
