I have had so much to do and here I am wishing I had more time to be on mylot. I haven't been here the whole of yesterday and my time here is getting shorter by the day. The year seems to be rushing to its end with such suicidal intent . I am trying hard to keep pace with it. I am in no great hurry to start the new year yet. LOL There is so much I need to have done this year and I am still plodding on. There are church activities, caroling and a bit of shopping to be done. I am currently taking stock of things around the home.. Which mean we also decided what decide on stays in and what goes out. I am sprucing up my garden for the season.. I know I wont have much time until after Christmas to potter around my garden. I am cleaning up and also putting up the decorations this weekend.. I am going to try to be here at least for a couple of hours everyday.. Let me see how this goes. Are you struggling with the many things to do this season?

Christmas is pretty quiet for us so I haven't noticed a whole heap of difference yet.

@sofssu Hope you have a great time socialising. Remember to have fun. People are coming to enjoy your company not to judge. But of course we all like to have things nice for company.

@JudyEv Though I do have a lot of fun I tend to overdo things a bit .. because I love to give people my best. I don't really worry about them judging me.. because most of them are such good friends.. and they know me very well.

I think that we should have extra hours we should be able to use if needed. I am retired and have all the time in the world. I could loan you some.

We don't really decorate. We have a few things out so that is checked off the list. As far as shopping goes I am making progress. We havent' discussed the Christmas meal but I think it will be another simple one. I've been on mylot more often lately which is a good thing. I am sure my hours will soon increase for work, but will decrease again in January.

Yes and no. I have some personal things I want to accomplish and I need to sit down and write a To Do list.

I think you can cut down the time on shopping by shopping online as much as possible. In this case, you will save a few hours and a few trips. The merchants will still earn your money, but you will have the time for other activities.

I've often asked Santa for more time - like A LOT of it - but he never seems to bring it (perhaps I've been too naughty??). I can't even begin to list what all needs to get done NOW. Best of wishes to you - hope you get all those things done!!

@sofssu Well then Santa is the naughty one for not bringing us what we ask for! I will leave him fruitcake instead of cookies - ha ha! Thank you! Let's tackle these tasks and get 'em done!

@much2say Guess I have been naughty too.. Santa doesn't seem to give me that one thing I need most. Sending positive thoughts your way and hoping that you will get your stuff done too.

@sofssu I am sure you will have a nice house by Christmas, I try to dedicate about 30 minutes a day for the cleaning, so I do not stress the last two days.

I always wish there was more time in a day to get things done that I want to do. That makes the days so spacial when I do end up getting everything that I want to get done, done.
