10 days left until Christmas! Or is it 11? Do you count Christmas day? No? But you count today. Okay then… 10 DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! Time to panic. I actually don’t really feel the need to panic. My baby bassets are long past the days of having to get the latest toy. The “Must Have Toy” of the season that does all the spiffy things only that toy can do. I remember feeling so stressed out and almost sick with worry that I would be the reason Christmas was ruined that year if I didn’t get it. This year was easy. Legos, clothes, and new headphones. HOLY MOLY! I am actually enjoying the Christmas Season! Tonight is my youngest’s school band Christmas concert. I will make myself some tea and enjoy the music. This is too easy. Now I’m worried.
