patting myself on the back

I'm sitting here feeling very pleased with myself because here it is still more that a day and a half 'til Christmas morning and the presents are bought, the stockings are stuffed and the gifts are all wrapped.  That may not seem like a big deal to those who are less organizationally challenged but, believe me, it's an accomplishment for me.  I can remember many Christmases when I was still wrapping gifts after the midnight Christmas Eve service.  Sleep was not an option. Who knows, by next year, when I'm retired, I may have things all finished a week before Christmas.  I know, I know, dream on....
