It is Christmas already!

Today is December 22 and I am sitting here waiting for Patrick to finish spinning new born urine (he has volunteered to help in a clinical research) at the hospital. I have come to the realization that Christmas is only 3 days away and I have not done any shopping, nor have I done any baking, nor have I crocheted or made a single thing. I kept thinking I will do it next weekend. Well I put it off and now if I send anything out for Christmas it will arrive well after the Christmas season. Getting Christmas presents done is often a struggle for me. I am notorious for giving unfinished Christmas gifts. My beautiful sisters may recall many gifts of material and patterns where I ran out of time to finish and sometimes even start my well laid out plans for their gifts. I have stopped trying to make gifts as often, all though I am usually able to get atleast a blanket done, or maybe a stocking or two, or sometimes a doilly or two done for christmas. But this year "nada"!! I haven't even managed to make or even buy my loving husband anything yet. I am feeling mighty terrible about this. I do have today and a little bit of time on Monday, when we fly into California. I wish I was already done and just worrying about wrapping and listening to christmas music, relaxing in a clean apartment on this cold Saturday...but that is just a wish... maybe next year! Off to fight the last minute crowds I go!!
