I am becoming a non functioning adult. This year I am so unprepared for Christmas. In years past, I always had the Christmas cards mailed by the tenth of December, I haven’t even bought any yet and it’s the twelfth! I made clear lists and knew exactly what to get everyone. Not this year, I have no ideas and there is no inspiration in sight. I used to love the hustle and bustle of shopping, getting out there and finding that special gift for each one. Now the crowds are claustrophobic and my patience is short. After standing in the checkout line for over forty-five minutes at Cabelas Saturday, (the first stop) on our annual shopping trek, my enthusiasm started waning and after the half hour wait in line at Nebraska Furniture Mart, I was ready to call it a day. And we hadn’t started shopping for everyone else.
I was excited for Christmas back in October, now not so much. I need more time, more ideas and the energy to execute. Is this stress or lack of interest? I’m suffering from input overload. I need a spa day, but don’t see that happening anytime soon, I don’t have the time.
