Is all about preparation and waiting. Well, I feel fairly prepared. I did the last of my present shopping this morning, and everything is wrapped up and sorted into bags ready to go to their respective people. All the cards and presents to be posted, have gone off. I’m waiting for one more online parcel to arrive, but as long as it comes before Christmas Day, that’s ok. I’m not normally quite this organised – it’s mostly because we’re having Christmas day here this year, parents and big sis are coming, and Mr B has offered to cook! So I figured I ought to be organised with cards and presents, so I can sort out the house and food nearer the time. I wasn’t though expecting to be quite this ahead yet – I’ve been off work sick the past couple of days, so I’ve been watching DVDs whilst sorting cards / wrapping presents. I’ve got a fairly busy couple of weeks now (a trip to Manchester, a wedding back here and a Christmas party to organise, just this weekend!), so I’m glad I’m on top of things. And I feel lots better!
Christmas at mine this year should be good. Mr B and I are sorting the food between us, my housemates will be at their parents house, so the 5 of us will have the house to ourselves. It meant that I could fit my shifts in around Christmas, without having to allow for travelling time.
The main things I’ve got left to do, is buy a tree and some decorations, clean the house and sort out all the food. And in the mean time, I’m opening a door on my advent calendar each day, reading a little more of the Christmas story, and eating a Divine chocolate.
