Can you believe that it almost December? My heart skips a beat whenever I think about it. I have so much still to make and lie in bed worrying about getting it all finished. Of course, it will either get finished or I will buy a last minute present and all will be well. I think I will feel better when I sit down with a list and figure out what it left to do.
You may remember (if you've been reading me for a while - or hello to any newbies), that every year I make up advent boxes for some friends. Throughout the year, I buy little bits, make things, last minute panic buying until I have 24 gifts for each person. Every year, I swear I won't do it again, but the 4 people who receive the gifts tell me how happy it makes them, knowing that someone has thought about them and their likes and have a little bit of love waiting for them each day, so I know I'll do again next year :-)
The bit that really gets to me is all the blooming wrapping. Just finished number 3 and boy have I had enough............. and I still have 1 left to do!
At least I have Anni B to keep me and H happy.
That's a wonderful idea. The recipients must be thrilled having a gift to open each day, I know I would be. I'm nowhere near ready for Christmas yet, I've hardly done any shopping. I really need to sit down and make some lists.
ReplyDeleteI was in Leeds today Jo and it was awful. I think the rest of my shopping will be done online!!!!
