The Busy-ness of December

Here we are in the early part of December - the prospect for a flurry of activity looming with a higher probability than a flurry of snow. Here’s a list of things for the month (so far): 

• Decorating the house.
• Writing an annual Christmas note to include with our Christmas cards (a general one for most….individual note for a few).
• Volunteering at a local non-profit’s holiday sale.
• Taking my husband to the airport for an early morning flight….then picking him up five days later from a late flight back.
• Deciding on gifts for family and friends…buying…wrapping…sending/delivering.
• Re-caulking the shower base in the master bathroom.
• Donate boxes of used books and VHS tapes.
• Finishing all Coursera courses I’ve started.
• Preparing the house for company.
• Shopping for holiday foods - red velvet cake is at the top of my list right now.
• Viewing the holiday light display at a local garden.
• Seeing the new Hobbit movie. 

Does it all have to happen in December? Not all of it….but I’m so jazzed by the holiday season that I always get more done in December than just about any month of the year!
