NO, we are not in the new house yet.
NO, we do NOT know when we will move in.
YES, I expect we will be in by Christmas.
I'm hoping the week after Thanksgiving, actually, but that is already December.
On a good day, yes, I'm excited to be in for Christmas. However, I have done NONE, ZIP, ZERO Christmas shopping. I like to be DONE by Thanksgiving, so this is a very strange situation...
I will have some familiar ornaments - my mother has some for me. We often go to the craft fair in Houlton the weekend of Thanksgiving, and sometimes we'd buy the same kind of ornament. I remember some sleds with mice painted on them that we got one year when I was first working and having my own tree. She's also promised me some ornaments that my grandmother had made.
I've even started making a few decorations:
(Oh, and I take it back ... in my crafting bag I have a Christmas present I bought for my mother! So I guess I'm not doing that badly ... things WILL be ok!)
It's going to be an interesting Christmas. It will be great to have the kids home for Christmas Break, and to really be "home". In our new house, as it becomes home.
