Tonight I will finally finish up the last of the gift-buying for friends and family! It actually wasn’t too bad this year. I started early, which helped make the season seem longer and less frazzled. I still managed to get down to the wire on a few things though. For who? I’m not telling!
Have you ever had one of those dreams where something bad is happening, like a fire, and it seems so real that when you wake up you can’t shake the feeling that it was all just a dream? There is that fleeting moment between sleep and semi-consciousness when you can’t fully distinguish reality and you think there’s a very slight chance that what you were dreaming might actually be happening. Well, that happened to me a few weeks ago. Except after that bizarre moment of quasi-lucidity, the dream didn’t go away.
Last year we started a tradition of cutting our own Christmas tree. We had so much fun that I could hardly wait for this year’s hunt for the perfect tree.
