PANIC!
Just kidding you have a while before you really need to panic.
But I was telling guests at M2W that the other day and I could see the moms panic slightly.
Is it weird to celebrate things like half Christmas?
Maybe that's just us.
Crazy swedes with our midsommar celebrations.
I like summer because of the weather and I get to wear sundresses.
My all time favorite piece of clothing.
But Christmas is hard for me.
I have to get in the Christmas mood.
And I always want snow.
But that doesn't always happen.
Like ever.
Well occasionally.
And then there is always finals and gifts and family stuff.
And I never really feel like I do my best on getting gifts for those I care about because I just don't have time.
So its like a few days before Christmas when I finally get home and Claire, Dad and I are weaving through the crowds at the mall.
Not how I imagined getting Christmas presents.
When we were little I have this distinct memory of going to 16th street mall a few weeks before Christmas and it was snowing and we got brats with sauerkraut and there were horse drawn carriages and we went shopping.
That was a good Christmas.
But its become so commercialized and big and stressful.
I wish we could go back to simpler times.
When you got someone a gift because you cared about them not because you had to.
And it was a genuine gift and not something you randomly picked out.
Well we have less than 6 months.
So just start making the list of people you care about.
And their gifts.
ONLY 6 MONTHS!
