I swear, It was May and I was moving into my new place, soon to be followed by my Daughter and Granddaughter when school session ended.....
I blinked twice- TWICE and now it's December again??? How? What happened in those other months?
I usually start my Christmas shopping in May- and am completely done by the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I've written about it before- I laugh at people who wait until the last minute and think the holidays are awful because they are so stressed out because they have procrastinated.
Well, Madam Karma has certainly bit me on the butt this year!!! I literally have two gifts bought. I'm sooooo behind.
And literally have a handful of Christmas decor up. Mostly various sizes of Santa/Kris Kringle/St. Nicholas portraits hung on the wall, although there are a couple of Red Truck prints up as well. HUGE fan of both.
What I would love to have(and will probably end up painting myself) is the scene of St. Nick kneeling over the Baby Jesus in the manger.
Anyway- we finally got a few things up from the basement for Christmas decorating. I don't want to do a full blown Christmas house as we hope to be moving again in a couple months. My daughter has COPD and has been sick ever since she moved into this place- and I wont stay here because our landlord's suggestion to the flooded basement issues continue to be-"Get some pallets to put your stuff on"....and that isn't helping with the water and mold issues that are exacerbating our health issues.
UN-effing-believable!!!!!
Anyway- a pack of gum and an apple makes for a pretty awesome gift- don't you think????? :D
