A week to Christmas

This year just got a lot more christmassy. Why? For the first time in my life, I’ve got all (seriously, ALL!) the presents sorted and it’s still a full week till Christmas. If that doesn’t deserve some applause, I don’t know what does.

Every year, there’ll always be that one or two gifts that I forgot/couldn’t find and come the last weekend before Christmas, I’m back out on Orchard Road with my battle gloves fighting off all the last minute shoppers for that elusive last minute present and then after the whole song and dance, we’ll give up and fall back on getting some boring Egyptian cotton bath sheets.

Been there and I’m so done with that. The days of frenzied last minute Christmas shopping is over. Me and my pukey pregnant self will put sit back and enjoy the week before Christmas the way it’s supposed to be enjoyed.

I got the kids to sit down and we made a list of all the things we wanted to do from now till the end of the year, in order of importance.

1. Bake a cake (Truett’s list)

2. Dance Party (Kirsten’s list)

3. Picnic (Truett’s list)

4. Nap (My list)

5. Make a birthday card for Jesus (Kirsten’s list)

6. Nap (My list)

7. Build a snowman(??!!) (Kirsten’s list) – we’ll have to improvise

8. Eat cake (Finn’s list *according to Kirsten) – although quite easily done once we get #1 sorted

Btw, is it just me or are these two starting to have the same face?

9. Learn a magic trick (Truett’s list)

10. Nap (My list)
