Good grief, we’re 92% done with 2024 now. Just the month of December to go.
December is always a busy month for us, what with preparing for Christmas, and with a couple of birthdays coming up as well – one of which is a round number birthday. We’ve started, but by no means finished our Christmas shopping.
I’m only working for the first three weeks of December, as my workplace is closing up on Friday 20th. I’ll be off work until the 2nd January, giving me a not-quite two week break. That gives me Monday 23rd to finish off any last-minute Christmas shopping, albeit with an eight-year-old in tow as school will be closed that day.
As usual, we’ll be spending Christmas with my parents in York. We’re meeting the rest of the family towards the middle of the month for a meal and to exchange presents.
Oh yes, and I’m already several weeks in to the Christmas drinks at Starbucks.
