There was a time in my life, not all that long ago, when I somehow managed to prepare for the year-end holiday season in advance even while working 60+ hour weeks. I kept lists of gift ideas for reference. I shopped for gifts - in real brick and mortar stores - and tucked them away when I found just the right items. I hand-wrote letters to include in cards, which I dropped into postal boxes for delivery weeks ahead of time. I even baked cookies. (Well, to be honest that really was a long time ago.) So, how does it happen that now, year after year, the holidays sneak up on me? I wasn't prepared for Thanksgiving and I'm sure as heck not ready for Christmas. But there's no hiding from the fact that it's coming...
I hope you're more organized than I am.
