Ready?

I think we might finally be ready for Christmas. This year, the whole family is coming to our house for Christmas lunch. Clean, clean, clean.

We still don't have a tree, but it's coming over from my grandmother's with my family on Christmas. I guess we'll decorate it after lunch. Our presents are gathered in the living room. They are our only decoration so far.

Working retail during the holidays really takes the spirit out of things. Work has been fun, but I'm exhausted. Several people at work are expressing their own exhaustion in snippiness to the rest of us. Come on, folks, we're all in this together.

I finished up what I think are the last of the handmade gifts last night. I think the hubby still has stuff to wrap, but he may actually have his shopping done! I'm sure we'll think of something we've forgotten tomorrow night.

All that's left is to sweep the house, finish vacuuming, finish the laundry, and clean up the living room and kitchen. Wow, that sounds like more than I thought! Ugh. And I have to go to work soon. Work tomorrow, too. At least I get a three day weekend next weekend. I think I'll sleep it away.

With all this going on, I find myself obsessively working on a new scarf. I justify it as a relaxation method for me when things get hectic. It may also become a last-minute gift.

2 days to go...
