Almost Christmas?

How did we get here already?

This year flew by faster than usual.

And the last 2 months just disappeared.

My last blog entry was right before Halloween. November and December have been blurs.

After we chose a place for my uncle, the following weeks were taken over by moving preparations, packing, Thanksgiving prep, Thanksgiving, moving him the day after Thanksgiving, getting him settled in the first week of December and putting up the Christmas decorations last week.

With it being a shorter span between Thanksgiving and Christmas than it sometimes is, I feel like I have been shorted on my holiday season.

I love Christmas and it has been so rushed and busy and non-Christmasy that I am not at all in the Christmas spirit.

We've only got a week and a half left, so I need to get Christmasy soon.

I have about half my shopping done. I am normally completely done by now.

No baking done, though I am usually on my second round.

My cards are not out yet.

No wrapping at all done.

No gifts shipped to my grandpa or best friend on the East Coast.

I am so behind.

But I cannot get the song for the Lottery out of my head. I think it's a local commercial, so only locals would know what I am talking about. It's so catchy, I walk around singing it all the time and just when I get it out of my head, the commercial comes on.
