Christmas is when?

I sit here today and realize with horror, that it is December 10th.  I have not bought one single Christmas gift.  Not one.  Generally by now, I am almost done, or atleast have a pile in the basement.  Not this year.  Not a single gift.  Not even a list.  Nothing.  I really need to get motivated.
The house is decorated..good.  And celebrations have begun-  had my students over yesterday for breakfast.  My seniors never cease to amaze me with their love and gratitude towards me.  They gave me a picture album with a very heartfelt note..and really, I need nothing more.  They are all kind of in shock about it being the end of the semester..we are starting to feel the separation, even though we have another semester. 
Yesterday, a tree arrived in my front yard, compliments of a secret santa(s).  It's nice to be so loved:)
Friday night, I am hosting the party for my colleagues at school..should be a fun time for all.  Pre-school party tomorrow morning, last time for our winter one.  Kendra and I have been doing this for so long..eight years long..and it is coming to an end.
Anyway.
I am going to look at my tree and just try to ignore the date. 
And hope that santa really will come here this year and just take care of it all for me...
Cheers!

I have the gifts; I don't have the decorations. So see... you aren't behind at all.

Might see you tomorrow but don't know if I will be motivated enough to get myself and the J around in the am.
