That’s been my experience too, Sharon!

I’d love to know which one you choose, too, Anne. I’m not thrilled with most of the options.

Let me know which one you go with, Anne. I’ve been trying them out for a while and haven’t landed on one I love.

Didn’t think of it in terms of life, Paula, but it works for that, too!

Plus I’m once again unsubscribing to a bunch of email and cleaning out the old email inbox… worse than doing the dishes – they get dirty again, email inbox fills up again.

This year I inadvertently decided to pare down my Christmas prep. I put the tree, decorations, and lights up earlier than usual, but I never got around to a few things:

My village. It takes 3-4 hours to set it up, including hauling 13 buildings and several boxes of accessories up and down stairs. I love my village, but I’ve had some deep eczema-related cracks in my fingers, which caused me to say, “I’ll do that later.” By then, will it be worth all the work for just a couple of weeks?

Knitting/crocheting: Crocheting really aggravated my wrist/thumb tendon injury; as soon as that afghan was done my wrist/thumb started feeling so much better. Knitting didn’t seem to bother it, but I still declared: No knitted/crocheted gifts this year.

Baking: Again, the cracks in my fingers do not want to be exposed to bread dough, cookie dough, or being stuck in gloves so I can wash all the extra dishes. I will make more toffee, though.

Since I’m not hosting this year, the pressure is off, but I realized it’s that pressure to get things done that motivates me at this time of year. Since I’m not hosting, I’ve let so many things slack thinking, “I’ll do that on the weekend.” ALl of those tasks pile up. Then snow happens. Multiple times. Shoveling eats into my time and those things don’t get done. Now I’m almost out of weekends!

Now I’m trying to decide which things can be put off until after Christmas.
