I’m a bit late with this one. So late, I haven’t had time to look for a photo so I’m going with an illustration:

It’s not the only thing I’m behind on. Christmas shopping barely started, when I’ve usually got most of it done by now.
Today it is exactly one month to Christmas.
Not panicking. Not panicking at all.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Here, it was one month til Christmas yesterday (Germans give out Christmas presents on Christmas Eve). One less day for me to get everything sorted. And I’m making Christmas dinner for 9 before that – in two weeks in fact. Aarggh!

I do when it happens, but having it start 2 months early and all the commercialism and hype in the stores and on TV, really gets to me. It’s not what it was when I was a child. 😦

I just got over Thanksgiving, I’m too tired for Christmas. I need another month. I say we postpone Christmas or we make time go much, much slower. I think the second one should do.

The Hub and I were the only people not to have any of our wedding cake. My mother refused to let me have a sponge tier. 😦

Just went out yesterday to look for a tree with no luck. If I hadn’t been so tired on Thursday I could have stopped at any number of tree sellers in my daughter’s town.

We have an artificial tree but I would love a real one.

I have never been in such denial about Christmas being a month from now. It always sneaks up on me, but this year I’m completely off. I actually think my blogging is getting in the way. Maybe in 2013 I’ll need to enter a program for blogging addiction. In the meantime, I am glad you can make me laugh…I need that! 🙂
