14 days to go...
It's 2008 in three weeks time. *mind boggles* As far as my Christmas preparations are going... Let's see:
Presents bought: 2 (yay, progress?)
Cards written: 0
Decided where to have The Dinner yet? Nope.
House decorated at least? Um... Yes. But with a wee setback.
Setback? Yes. The moment the 10-year-old Christmas tree lights decided the time was right to blow a fuse after tree was decorated perfectly, which resulted in my swearing a lot, not managing to get the lights working again, un-decorating the tree in order to get all the lights off, have Mum offering to go out and buy a shiny new set, and having her come back home with a box of 200. It's a 6ft tree, I guess it needs all those lights? It made DO with 60 before. Hmph.
Anyway. Tree Part the Second is now looking pretty again, bit more sparkly than before too. It also has drunk fairy on top of it, so-called because she just will not sit properly on the top branch. Ever. She was swaying backwards towards the window last I looked. No more eggnog for her.
With that out the way, my decorations are complete. :D
Ahhh, but I love Christmas time. I dug out some Christmas CDs that were stashed in the back of the wardrobe. Not that I've played them yet, but I know they're there, incase I get a sudden urge to listen to cheesy tunes of festive cheer. I keep hoping they will get me in the mood to be creative and to put up some seasonal-type header on my journal too, but by the time I decide what/who to have, it will be January. Raar.
Plan for tomorrow is to drag my poor Mum around the shops again. She asked what I want but really, aside from things that are too expensive and wouldn't be bought for me anyway, I have no idea. *shrugs* Damn me for being indecisive!
