It's started!!

The Christmas Countdown, that is.  It hit me as quite a shock that we are in December already (how time flies!)  and it hit me harder when the stockings went up in the office to remind me I have just about 3 weeks to gather my wits and pull together a list of Christmas gifts ideas, actually go into a mall in this time of year (oh, the horror!) to buy these gifts, plan the holiday gatherings so the gifts and wishes could be delivered, and somehow squeeze some holiday baking in between.  EEEK!! Stress levels on the rise... I think I need a drink, or two...
