Are you ready for Christmas?

Yes, I know.  It’s only the end of October.  But, seriously, Christmas and the holiday gift-giving season is less than 2 months away now.  I’m having a mini panic attack because I haven’t really started my Christmas list for this year, something I usually do in the summer.  Whatever shall I do but pull out all my magazines and head to the Knitter’s Edge?!  It’s a shame I’ll have to spend part of my weekend immersed in projects and yarn.

I love giving handmade gifts.  It’s as much for me as it is for those who receive the gifts because I absolutely adore the process of planning and making the projects.  It’s not about saving money, although I don’t have to pay for therapy!  I just love the thought of investing my time and energy in something that’s personal.

I have every confidence everything will be finished on time.  This year will NOT be like the one where, on Christmas Eve, I sat in my jammies knitting until late afternoon when I had to get ready for church.  Not cool…

Is your holiday gift-giving on track this year?
