procrastination...it's making me late.
Before you read this, do you have all your Christmas decor put away?
If so, then BRAVO! If not then kudos to you to being a procrastinator!
EVERY year I feel the same way about putting Christmas decorations away...I hate it! I hate taking down, the lights outside, because it's flippin' freezing! I hate bringing all the boxes out, only to put them right back away. I hate what putting them away actually means...Christmas, my favorite time of year, is OVER!
I LOVE everything about Christmas:
the family time
the cookies
the traditions
the ornaments
the cheeriness of some
the generosity bestowed to others
the family time
the cookies (oops...did I mention those twice?)
Every year I am faced with this conundrum: to put up or not? That is the question. And I always answer...is there any other answer? "YES is being my answer" (if you are a fan of romantic comedies, I actually just quoted one...twenty points for you if you know to which movie I am referring)!
If you know me well, procrastination is most certainly NOT a characteristic that one would use to describe me...overplanner, yup that's me! So, why do I torment over this so much? I think because it means it's the end. The only thing that keeps me from NOT taking the decorations down is knowing that (a) everyone else will judge me if I don't (2) I won't have that wonderful feeling one receives after cleaning, organizing, and putting away items...fellow organizers UNITE!
So I guess my activity for tomorrow and Saturday will be, you guessed it, putting away Christmas decorations...it's about time. But, "I'll think about that tomorrow." Scarlett "O'Hara
p.s. If you haven't done so, then maybe, you should ;)
