My brain has gone on strike with the writers, I guess. So please come back another day if I totally lose you and make no sense at all. :-)
I'm not stressed about Christmas. Really. I'm more indifferent. Not to Christmas. Just to the materialistic money-sucker it's been turned into by the world. In my opinion, Christmas would be better with NO presents :-) We'd just celebrate God's gift to us, and that would be that. I just don't want to shop this year. I have only bought like two presents, and we won't discuss how many I need to buy...
The cookie swap was fine. The pinwheels were good, even though they were a little soft when they warmed to room temperature. The wreaths were good, too. They were certainly the most discussed, but strangely the least eaten. Everyone I actually saw with one liked it, so go figure?! I came home with lots of cookies that I totally didn't need. So my family has decided to save me from all those empty calories, and they are eating some of them before I get to them and put myself into a sugar-induced coma...
I just finished a pair of mittens for charity. That's something good! They're small kids size, black wool for the Soaring Eagles Project. I can't decide if I should add a snowflake or something unisex on them or just let them be.
What do you think? The deadline to get them in is the 17th...
(PS: I hope to return to a normal, kinda-maybe-makes-sense-post soon!)
Love the mittens. A snowflake would be cute - but at this time of year it would be one more thing to do also.
ReplyDeleteI HATE, HATE, HATE shopping! Did I emphasize that enough? Thank you Lord, for the Internet! I still have a few little stocking stuffer things that I'm not willing to pay shipping on to pick up and then I am done!
