Oh My!
How Christmas comes around so quickly.
And just like each and every other year, I wasn’t ready for it.
Panic stations once again on Christmas Eve.
Why do I do this? Why do I torture myself with worry? why do I leave the last of my gift shopping for the 24th? … These questions I ask myself every year. And every year comes with a different excuse.
Didn’t want to wait in the long lay-by lines…
Didn’t have the money at the time…
There just wasn’t enough time…
Ha! Eleven months wasn’t enough?
Guess not!
Each year there are excuses as to why I didn’t start my Christmas shopping earlier.
If I buy it now, it may not fit them by Christmas.
Let’s face it, ‘I’m a Christmas Eve shop-aholic’
Hold on, did I say “last of my gift shopping /on Christmas Eve”? What am I talking about? Christmas Eve, was, is and I think always will be the start of my Gift shopping, none of that last minute Christmas shopping stuff for me, It’s first & fast minute shopping all done on the one day > Christmas Eve.
Who knows? Maybe this New Year I might make a New Years Resolution and start my Christmas ‘gift’ shopping earlier through out the year…Haha!

Have a Happy New Year & Stay Safe!....Hope it's a great year for you all....God Bless!!
...Roo

Don't worry, you're not alone. We all procrastinate. Especialy on Christams. Now the slate is all clean again though and we can begin early this time. Kind of takes all the fun out though...he he GCJ
