Thanksgiving 2024 is officially in the books, and the 2024 Christmas season is in full swing!
It was a good Thanksgiving, full of family, laughs, and snow this year!
I truly enjoy Thanksgiving. Unlike Christmas, there isn’t the underlying stress of shopping, decorating, party planning, and wrapping.
Trixie and I may have been the first dog and 54th human across the finish line for the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot, but I can assure you we won’t be first when it comes to having Christmas signed, sealed, and delivered.
My girl and I are not shoppers. No, sirree Bob! We would much rather be out chasing squirrels, walking, swimming, or watching the passers-by while enjoying a hot cup of coffee.
Trixie and I aren’t even mediocre planners. We are much happier rolling by the seat of our pants–every day!
Unfortunately, the above qualities are crucial for successfully navigating the Christmas holiday. Ugh, I have so been set up for failure.
I vow to be better every year, but I am not. Although, I must say, the buckeyes always get made (I love to bake and eat), and the real Christmas tree is happily cut and brought into the house early (it’s a task sort of like stacking wood!). Both are things I enjoy.
Can I hire a personal shopper or organizer? I could, but unfortunately, that would require much more money than I can afford. I could also take some time off to get it under control, but I like to work and need to work to pay for Christmas!
So, three weeks and counting. The timer has started. It’s a race to the finish line!
And in case you missed it last Wednesday, Morning Ag Clips now has an online store. This is for people like me, who prefer a click to an outing to do my shopping. I guarantee we have a few things for the farmers in your life that will give them a smile. Click here!
Have a great start to your December. Let’s get to it! Race to the finish line!
With love,
Kate
