Christmas is coming

Panic is starting to set in!!!   Christmas is coming fast.!!!  I have done hardly anything.....Help!

Normally i spend all year buying presents as i go along.  This year hardly none.  For the first time in years we have had  no pets and so we have been on holiday.   Not once. Not twice.  But three times.

Five days at easter to Stratford Upon Avon, Two weeks in Devon and a week in Norfolk.

For one of the weeks at Devon we took daughter and two grandkids and so have explained that they must count that as part of their christmas presents, but of course we will still spend money on them....Or will i!!

Obviously we are not as flush as we would be if we had stayed at home.  but money IS NOT my problem.  The problem is i just cannot get motivated, interested, bothered.  I would be quite happy to just close my eyes and wake up in January.  I don't think the warm weather is helping either.

Now listen to this, my husband, yes my husband is saying do you think we should be going christmas shopping.   Never been heard of.  And what do i say?  No, what would we want to do that for there is plenty of time.

But there isn't! there really isn't and i have no idea what to buy and what's more i cannot get up the oomph to do anything about it.

I have never really enjoyed christmas, or at least the present buying aspect of it, due to childhood reasons.  Present buying and making a choice is always accompanied by great anxiety to get it right.  The strain of christmas takes its toll which is why i have my post christmas blues in January .. February.  My sister has got it right she is going away with all her neighbours for christmas and not coming home till after the new year.

But this isn't getting the presents bought.  Shopshere i come!
