Oh. My. God. We have only 7 days until Christmas. Where in the world did the time go? It seems like just a few days ago we were in Des Moines celebrating Thanksgiving with my sister and laughing at how much time we had until Christmas. The only laughing here is the maniacal sounds of my sanity vanishing. I am sooo not ready, mentally that is. Sure, the gifts are wrapped and the shopping is done, but I’m just not ready to face the holiday. I need more time to prepare. I need more relaxing celebrations. I need more Valium!
I predict I’ll be mentally ready to celebrate Christmas come mid-January.
Pretty Pretty Bang Bang 
Mid January sounds good to me – can we just skip the next 7 days and hold our own celebration when we’re ready?
