We have 11 more days of school & 21 sleeps until Christmas....it seems like a long time but the next few weeks are filling up with events, parties & activities & I know that time will fly.
I don't like to Christmas shop too early but it's always a fine line between being relaxed & enjoying the moment & then panic buying in that last week before Christmas.
House renovations continue & in order to be able to relax over the holidays, I've made a list of "jobs to be completed by Christmas Eve", focusing on smaller tasks, of which there are many....
And my December goals are as follows :
01. Book tickets to see "It's A Wonderful Life" on the big screen at our local cinema & take my son to Winter Wonderland in London's Hyde Park....it's an over-priced, garish & noisy Christmas extravaganza & he's been asking to go "all his life" as he puts it, so this year is the year.
02. I've been feeling more than a little run-down recently, so on my list are a visit to the hair salon & a facial or a massage.
03. Finish the hallway....this has been started but has some way to go, I cannot wait to get it done. Currently half the painting is done & a large mirror has been put up - we have lots still to do but it will be so lovely to come home to a bright & freshly decorated hallway.
04. Install the two fireplaces that I bought recently - one is being done today & the other should be done next week. I love them both & cannot wait to see them in our living room.
05. Read a book. I read the Sunday papers & a couple of magazines every week but haven't finished a book in forever.
Welcome December!
