OK ... I Give In!!!



I give in, surrender, acquiesce, admit defeat ... I QUIT!! It really is Christmas in two sleeps!!! SIGH! Like Snoopy, I think I'm just going to lay down and let it happen around me! I've tried very hard to hold it back this week cos the list of things I wanted to get done before Christmas Eve was long and the hours each day seemed to be short. I tried NOT changing the number on my Santa Countdown Blackboard ...

... but everyone I spoke to corrected me. :0) I tried starting a petition voting to postpone Christmas until February ... and I had a LOT of signatures!! :0) But  ... alas ... we were defeated ... not enough time for it to go through Parliament to be applied this year! Tee! Hee! Hee! So in the end, I've looked at my "To Do" list, crossed off the things I've managed to accomplish and then crossed out the rest, cos really, in the big scheme of things, they weren't that important. :0)

Of course ... one of those things on my list that got scrapped was showing some pictures of the plethora of GORGEOUS gifties that have come my way from friends and blogging buddies. I promise I WILL do this ... but it will now have to be after the podgy dude in red has been and gone. Sorry about that, but I'm sure you're all in the same boat as me and it is named "Overestimating Time Available"!! Tee! Hee! Hee!

We've booked the house sitter, the dog sitter, the mail collector and the garden waterer and will be packing ourselves up tomorrow to head off for a few days with my folks in Mundubbera, so we're looking forward to a few quiet days ... unless my Mum has been writing her own "To Do" lists for us! Tee! Hee! Hee! I'll have my laptop with me though, so might even get time to finally pop in and visit a few of you, my blogging buddies during the break and of course will be able to answer emails and collect OPAM finishes. Yep ... almost THAT time again, too. HOWEVER ... it's my turn to pick random winners, and since I'm approaching holiday mode, don't stress too much about emailing right on the last day of December. By all means update your sidebar list when you finish things, but if you're emailing, you have an extra day or two leeway this month til I'll get around to the draw, so GET STITCHING! :0)

Before I scoot off to put my weary feet up and enjoy a cup of tea, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Christmas full of lots of family, lots of friends, lots of love, lots of laughs, lots of special treats and lots of GIFTIES! Tee! Hee! Hee! And wish you and yours a FANTASMAGORICAL 2012 full of wonderful new adventures!! If you're travelling, please take care so you can come back to play in blogland again and remember the Reason for the Season ... the most precious gift ever given ... God's Son!

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

BIG SQUOOSHY CHRISTMASSY BEAR HUGS!!

CHEERS!
