The boys helped me start and finish the cards yesterday in exactly two hours, which was fantastic. Lea is her usual awesome self, handling at least one thing I don’t see for every thing I do.
As for me, dudes and dolls, if it’s not in my sphere of Christmas concern by 7:30 on the morning of December 19, it’s probably not going to get in there. I apologize in advance for any slights, both perceived and genuine.
Lunch with Carol today. Movie and pizza with BamaDan on deck later in the week. Only marginal proximity to retail in each case. Lea has asked that I take the boys all day Thursday, so we’ll be doing that. We’ll go have lunch somewhere fun, and I haven’t worked the rest of it out. (I haven’t watched any of my Christmas movies yet; alas, the boys aren’t even close to old enough for any of them for at least another couple of years.)
Mainly, I’m trying to take my foot off the accelerator a little bit. It’s a silly time of year, but I’m trying to appreciate that freneticism is still a choice, and I’m trying not to make it. Join me, won’t you?
