Funky Word Press won’t let me use apostraphes and such in my titles. Probably because I’m using a Japanese keyboard. Who knows? Anyway, it’s finally hitting me that we are in December and I am so not ready for anything.
Next week is ds#1′s birthday. Dh picked up the gift, but beyond that I haven’t made any plans as to how or when we will celebrate. I have about 50 cards that need to be written and sent if they’re going to make it to the US by Christmas. And I have to take the kids yearly photo. One of my mom’s friends emailed to remind me to send her the photo. What is she doing on email at her age? 
The day after tomorrow I have a big class event for the first graders that I organized (‘cuz I had to). I figured 10 or fifteen moms might come. There are over thirty adults, close to the entire class has a parent attending. It’s because I planned to do cake. Everybody wants cake. Frankly, I can’t think beyond Thursday. Please, let me survive Thursday. LOL!
Seriously, I need to get organized. Anyone else feeling a bit panicky as the holiday season approaches? Well, you’re not alone.
Cheers!

This year has been the least stressful for me. I put up the lights and sent all my Christmas cards last week. I also sent one of two packages. I only need to find two good boxes to pack the remaining gifts and send them. As for presents, I’m buying Pirates of the Caribbean 3 this Friday, and next week Harry Potter 5 and I’m set. *grins and ducks*

I’m so scared that I haven’t started my shopping yet. I haven’t even thought about it, which is very unlike me. I’m going to start tonight…

Jeez … I’ve barely begun getting things ready for the holidays. I do this every year, yet things seem to fall into place on time.
Thanx for reminding me of how little I’ve gotten done so far.

This Christmas is really different for me this year. My dad and gram won’t be with us as they’ve recently passed away, and I’m about to fly back to Toronto for Boxing Day in order to see my father-in-law who is being treated for pancreatic cancer. Bittersweet is the tone, for sure. But strangely – or maybe not – all the Christmas songs and decorations are really, really cheering me up.
