I still have gifts to wrap, and baking to do, and groceries to get, and dogs to board, and Guilder to frame for it.</p>
<p>Just seeing if you&#8217;re paying attention.</p>
<p>Every year I tell myself the same thing: I&#8217;ll start to wrap and decorate early. And as usual, something happens. Obviously, the accident played a HUGE part this year. But c&#8217;mon! I can use gift bags instead of wrapping paper. I just have this&#8230;.block, for lack of a better term. The Christmas tree is finally up, but I have yet to put up the stockings. Or the garlands. Or the mistletoe ball.</p>
<p>And I just remembered the outside lights. Eh, forget that. I don&#8217;t have enough strings of lights to spell &#8220;D-I-T-T-O&#8221; anyway.</p>

<p>Maybe if I do the tree like that next year, I won&#8217;t have to worry about gift wrapping.</p>
<p>I hope I&#8217;m not the only one procrastinating. Am I?? 😀</p>
