on getting ready for Christmas.
12.19.09
No. I don’t have the Christmas cake made. Nor the puddings. And no, I didn’t get any Lebkuchen this year. Where am I supposed to find time to do this? Oh I’m single and don’t have children? I see. Yes, I’d like to do Christmas cards this year too, and I’ve decided that for once the kids are not getting books which means I have to choose presents for them. Yes, I totally agree the presents will be late but they always are because I’m usually on holiday just before Christmas. I wanted to do the Christmas shopping in November but I seemed to be working every weekend in November and so I know it involved working at 3am, not when the shops are open so that I could have gone shopping when i wasn’t working except when you work between 3am and 5am on the weekend and then 9-5 Monday to Friday it tends to shag up your sleeping pattern so when the shops were open weekends in November I was sleeping. Ask anyone. No one’s hardly seen me since September and today is the last Saturday before Christmas and I havent make the Christmas cake, the Christmas puddings or done the Christmas cards or Christmas shopping. If it helps I bought Christmas lights the day before yesterday and hung them which is more than next door did.
I wish I had Lebkuchen though. They’d be nice.
