December blew in and caught me by surprise. I looked at the calendar in November and thought, “It’s not going to be so bad in December!” Then things started getting added to the December calendar, rapidly.
I’m sure I’m not alone.
The house has looked more like chaos than anything else this month, with moments of peace.
Today my kids are busy finishing up their college finals, hubby is at work, and I have the rest of this day to tie up loose ends—the last of the gift cards I need to buy, another 100 gingerbread to make and freeze for Sunday night’s church concert reception, cancelling my ice maker order from Cowboy Maloney’s because I finally realized that my broken door hinge (due to stripped screws) could just be switched to the other side of the machine, and laying out the supplies to make 25 gift bags for a local crisis pregnancy center.
It’s early, so I tidied up the chaos for a few moments to take pictures of the peace. I hope you enjoy this year’s house Christmas house tour. (Thanks, Mom!)
