Help! Its Christmas...

All of a sudden, its only a week to Christmas. And to say that I am not organised for it is a serious understatement. I have put up the wreath - a beautiful one from Judith at the market, I have found last year's Christmas decorations after much searching, but they are still in a bag looking at me balefully - or is that me looking at them balefully?? As anyone who knows me will appreciate, I wouldnt ignore the food side of things so I have ordered goose and lamb for Christmas and that will happen ok, but I am so not on top of the Christmas present buying, it is not funny. My plan had been to make loads of edible pressies, and to use them to personalise whatever other small gift I would find for friends and family. But, apart from a couple of jars of preserves, I havent actually made anything else yet! Nor have I done much searching for the presents that have to be bought. I had a sense of complacency due to my having found the perfect present for my mother - but hadnt actually bought it. Of course, when I went back to buy it - they were all sold out. That deflated my admittedly mild enthusiasm for going out into shops full of hordes of people all with grim determination to find that perfect present. However, time for prevarication and procrastination is now over. Today is the day - if only I could summon up the energy that is lacking due to me being awake for a few hours in the middle of the night pondering about all sorts of things, before falling into an unrestful few hours sleep, where I had nightmares about weird Christmas presents. Very sad, I am...
