Christmas Planning

Since it's still January (for one more day)--where did this month go already--I can still talk about Christmas...right? Every year, I have HUGE plans for Christmas. I plan to get the inside and the outside decorated before December 1st! This was the plan this year: Tree--Black Friday Shoppimg--Done my mid-December Cleaning--Done so Christmas pictures look tidy Decor--Inside and Outside by December 1st What ACTUALLY happened: Tree--December 22nd--lights, Angel, and tree skirt only (none of my awesome ornaments or garland) Shopping--Finished on Christmas Eve (as is the normal around here) Cleaning--most of the laundry was done and moved stuff so it wouldn't be in the pictures Decor--Tree (partly), wreath on the door, no lights, no nativity, nothing shiny and bright This bad because it was a little depressing. I felt rushed to get the tree/wreath up and down. It was NOT very festive at all. It was also bad because I didn't feel the need to take many pictures ...

Countdown

26 days until Christmas! :) 17 school days until Christmas!  :)  3 days (counting today) until the local Christmas Festival!  My Girl Scouts are selling baked goods and other cute things there this weekend! ???? days until my Christmas tree and decor are up. :(  (Know where it is, but have to clear all the spaces to put it up!) ???? days until the first present is under the Christmas tree.  (Have the present!  Need to wrap it!  Might be nice to have a tree up!) 3 days (counting today) until one of my classes wraps up! 7 days (counting today) until the other class wraps up! 17 days (counting today) until GRADUATION!  (That's crazy!  4-and-a-half years and it's finally here!) So the countdowns are on!  Would put a countdown timer on the blog, but too many things to count down for!  :)
