When you hear “Christmas list” you probably think of a list of things a kid wants, right? Well, I know many of can see my side of it where my Christmas list is actually a long drawn out list of things that need to get done before the festive season really kicks into high gear.
To be clear, our “high gear” is sooooo lame this year, and thats on purpose. We regularly hang out in first gear over here. As first as possible. And I guess we’re shifting into second for this season, but really, no one is pinning it anywhere this season. Brady has chemo over Christmas :/ and while I’m doing much better on my meds, extra is still too much. So we’re taking it SO easy. I can safely say we’re kicking it into slightly higher low gear. Clear as mud? I thought so.
So. The list. Be gentle, because its a liiiiittle bit sad 😬 So many of you have offered to rescue me, so please know I’m still SO fine here. Things will get done 💜
We still need to put up Christmas. Like… any Christmas. We have zero decor up. In years past, we were the douchebags who lit their tree up on Halloween. But it will get done. The tree itself, as well as the trees above our cabinets. Very very soon.
I have some teacher gifts that I didn’t send to school, because I hadn’t written cards up yet. So I have two to write up still, and then I can deliver here in town. Saved locals for last, I guess.
Someone cooked for us ages ago and I still have their pot. I have to deliver that asap. She might need it over Christmas!
Laundry. Laundry has been rolling all day. I figured if I wash everything we own right at the beginning, I can neglect laundry for the rest of the season 😆 Right?? I put everyone’s socks and underwear into a hamper and it was FULL. Yikes.
My bedroom is on the list. It doesn’t have to be tidy for any real reason, but I want to be able to let down in it, and its hard when its such a mess. But there are crochet projects I’m still trying to pump out and that is the bulk of the mess. So those two things will go hand in hand, since finishing crocheted gifts is also on my list.
My en suite is a wreck. Thats a need.
Brady and I have to get our gifts for the homemade gift exchange out the door and to their rightful owners this weekend.
Brady has a woodworking order to wrap up before Christmas.
I have a mountain of gifts to wrap! Which I actually really love, but currently have zero space to do it because everything is in the state of moving messes right now.
There is still baking, prepping, and organizing I’d like to do, but this is the current running list.
I’ve crossed a couple of things off the list so far. Dekker cleaning up some tape and string he had hanging around to use for decor that he ended up abandoning. I posted on the Homemade Gift Exchange page. I tidied off the island, with Brady’s help. Now he’s at my moms helping her tie up a couple of loose ends, and believe it or not, I’m getting the blog up! Lol!
Whats left on your list?
