Last night during our family devotional we calculated that there are only 30 days til Christmas. Two weeks and a little bit over (as they say in Pirates of Penzance).
So it is officially Panic Time.
We haven't written any Christmas cards yet. We haven't done any shopping (and weren't about to join the madding crowd on this Friday last). We've just been trying to get through the days.
Will we ever find the time to do any of those things that need to be done prior to the big holiday?
There are so many things on my at-work list. Tests to write. Procedures to update. Documents to review. Spreadsheets to create. Meetings to attend.
Then there's the at-home list. Preparing for cold weather. Finishing the basement. Fixing the car. Schedules to keep.
At the end of the day, all I want to do is to climb into bed and hide from the world. But the next morning, the world is still there, waiting. And I have to get up and get dressed and get more and more behind on all the things to do.
And now Christmas...
