I'm always behind, it seems, but I've determined to try to just slow down this Christmas season and savor the days.<br />We are having much colder weather than we're used to in South Texas. It makes it seem more like Christmas, but I really do prefer our warmer days :-)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-72661069358689955712011-12-08T07:30:38.628-07:002011-12-08T07:30:38.628-07:00I've had the same problem...I've done some...I've had the same problem...I've done some decorating but no baking or cards....luckily, the Princess has been wrapping gifts, except hers, so that is about finished...One thing I can say here is I don't have the energy that I did 20 years ago and I run out of steam pretty fast...I've decided to stop obsessing about what I'm not getting done...its just not worth it..<br />Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-76557886412717082542011-12-07T22:12:40.021-07:002011-12-07T22:12:40.021-07:00Dear Susanne.

BTW, I checked back with the Punjammies people and they now ship to Canada ;-) I just got two pairs for my cousins. NOW, I'm done shopping!nikkipolanihttp://nikkipolani.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-34802546197259425172011-12-07T18:02:20.410-07:002011-12-07T18:02:20.410-07:00Seriously lacking in motivation here too, Susanne....Seriously lacking in motivation here too, Susanne. I think it's probably because we won't be at home for Christmas so I have ZERO interest in decorating.<br /><br />I'm using the excuse of 'I'm focusing on Advent' this year...Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-44867094791004772412011-12-07T17:41:16.959-07:002011-12-07T17:41:16.959-07:00I can kind of relate to this, Susanne.

I have succeeded in decorating but it is definitely paired down from years past. Plus the girls are older now and at 18 and almost 13 they have learned what's really important about the season! (JESUS!!). I'm tired too but i know it's cause I"m staying up too late and working longer hours in the classroom now....sigh...I don't LIKE baking cookies at 7 pm so I announced to my husband that there would be less sweets in the house this holiday as well. He was ok with it! yay!! It's funny you are writing about this today because we haven't had any snow yet either although tonite we are supposed to get 1-4 inches of slushy wet snow. We had 2 inches of a surprise snow in October around halloween time. It melted the next day thank the Lord! come on over later tonite...i'll be posting about something that might help your xmas spirit! :)Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-91286474790311997952011-12-07T17:21:08.562-07:002011-12-07T17:21:08.562-07:00The hohohodrums are going around this year.

Plus, I have no idea when I'm going to have time to do any of it either.<br /><br />I hope you gather some Christmas spirit soon. Me too. :)Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.com
