As much as I’d like snow today, I know we’re not going to be getting any. Such is life and the unpredictable weather of the Pacific Northwest. Last year at this time I was so sick of snow I wished I’d never see it again. Ironic how tastes can change from year to year.
As a kid, I always promised myself I’d start Christmas shopping earlier and earlier in the year. As a result, I never managed to finish buying my gifts until the 22nd or 23rd. One year I even found myself shopping on the morning of the 24th! I don’t know why, but my younger self seemed to thrive on the stress of last-minute shopping. It was exciting, and tiring at the same time. Hence the annual promise to “start earlier next year.”
