Methinks halfway through December
begins the holiday countdown. Five
day until the Solstice. Eight or nine
days to Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Looking forward to last minute post
office lines, shopping, decorating,
meal planning, as well as making
space for stay-over family.
I love that part of sitting on the floor
wrapping presents, attaching names
and getting them under whatever tree
has been put up. Large or small, real
or fake, green or tinsel . . . all fun!
I find myself checking the mail most
religiously. Cards arriving, along with
the odd package, as well as presents
ordered from catalogues and on line.
Some cards have page long catch up
letters whilst others are only signed.
Once in a while, there is one hand
made and I am WOWED! Back in
the day, we used to string 'em along
the fireplace mantle. Today, I put
them in a basket on the table and
look through them fairly often.
I hate to think about it, but I have
one more Post Office trip . . . think
I'll wait until sometime between
x-mas and New Year's. Nothing
wrong with receiving a package
after all the holiday brouhaha!
Rather adds to the fun!
boxes wrap ribbons
last minute buys and sendings
too tired to plan
