Interrupting Football Season to Bring You Christmas
Today's story is all about pushing football aside to focus on Christmas. My house is not yet fully decorated and that is really unheard of! Usually I host my holiday party the first Saturday of December and the house is fully decorated at that time.
There are also a couple of holiday gifts to finish that require hand quilting. So today, I turned off football and turned on my old Christmas tape, recorded in 1988. I sewed, did my Sunday chores and then decorated the trees. As I sit here making a to-do list for tomorrow I must acknowledge that the two large trees are still not quite decorated. There is one very large box of Hallmark ornaments to unpack and hang! I think I might need help!
Tonight I also wrote out all of our Christmas cards. We do not send all that many, but it is a job that does take time and I am happy to say that the cards are done!
Next I wrapped up some smaller gifties to take to school on Monday. Finally, a bit of organizing before heading upstairs. I am definitely feeling better about the state of our house this evening!
Christmas needed to take a front seat today. And, while it is never easy to "not watch" football, today the Giants weren't televised so it wasn't so bad. I was able to keep up with the score on my laptop while the Christmas tape played on the television and I decorated the trees. All in all, a very productive day! Mark has just run out to the post office to put all the cards in the mailbox and I am going to vacuum just a bit before heading upstairs. Yup, a very full day here!
