One Week.

Till Christmas.

I suppose I should start getting my shopping done, huh?

Yeah, yours truly has yet to begin. Well, that’s not entirely true, because I did get Brother 2, SIL (that’d be my sister in law) and my lovelies their gifts (those would be my niece and nephew).

But the rest of the crew? Nope. Haven’t even thought about it.

It’s a good thing I have a small list of people and that a couple of them enjoy alcoholic presents. That makes it easy. Liquor stores I can do.

Big crowds, however, I can’t.

Anyone else out there still have yet to begin their Christmas shopping?

You know, I really envy those types of women who have the immaculately decorated house — where most of the decorations were some DIY creation of brillance and there’s usually some color scheme or theme involved.

I admire that sort of … drive.

Because I don’t have it.

I’ve often wondered if one day I will have it … when I have some little bambinos and mini Taurus’ running around.

So it won’t surprise you that I also have yet to decorate … I know, I know, you don’t have to tell me.  What am I waiting for?

Probably the imminent arrival of Maman this Friday to get Brother and I to swing into swift action.

Does it count that I am playing Christmas music, which let me just say — Mariah Carey’s Christmas Album is a work of true art. Love it. For those of you out there laughing at me, stop. Go listen and then get back to me.

We Taurus’ might do things a bit differently come the Holidays, but, at least I can say:

It’s done my way.
