A reindeer.
So. Only nine days until Christmas. Let's review the situation.
No tree.
No decorations.
No bird.
No presents.
Not enough cards.

Remember how I said I didn't want to cut it too fine this year?

Mum went out to shop. While browsing various retailers' websites I found a Cliff Richard gift set that I'm sure one of my aunts would love. So mum went out to buy it.

While she was out I got down to making cards, pretty much as soon as she was out the door. I wanted to make the remaining 13 that we needed but I could only make 7. We now have a total of 14 out of about 20ish.

I was thinking of trying to make mince pies. We don't normally open them until Christmas we got two boxes about two weeks ago as they were on offer and they go out of date on the 30th. So mum didn't see the point of keeping both boxes until Christmas, and I got another box last week of a different brand for variety so we've had some for breakfast. It's a little early. The mince pies are usually part of post Christmas breakfast.

I'm not sure though. I've never tried to make mince pies before and I still want to make gingerbread and I still haven't finished the cards. So there's still a lot to do and adding more goals puts too much pressure on me and makes me depressed when I don't achieve it.

I think I'll have to wait and see how I feel about making mince pies. I f I do then I do. If I don't then I don't.

Bluebiird out.
