Christmas is Soon

 Christmas 2024 is only 5 days away, 4 days if you don't count today.

Are you ready?

What I mean to ask is:

• Are your decorations up, inside and outside?
• Is your tree up?
• Are all your presents purchased, cooked, or made?
• Are your Christmas card emails sent?
• Everything purchased for your Christmas meals.
• Are you ready for all the parties you will be asked to attend?

Being retired, there is not much for my wife and I to do.  My family is out of state and don't want to visit and we are either too poor to fly or too old to drive.  

My daughter is in Iceland and my wife's son is nearby and will visit us with his girlfriend. Our decorations are up, and all cards have been sent or delivered.

We stopped buying each other presents, so nowadays we just buy something for the house.  This year, we are putting new windows in our sunroom.

Usually, my wife wants to put everything away, the day after Christmas instead of leaving it all up until after New Year's Eve.  It does not matter to me at all, I have learned to just following instructions during these types of holidays.
