How is it December already? Didn’t I just take these fall portraits in a pumpkin patch, like, two weeks ago? Oops, I guess not. How do the holidays, especially Christmas, manage to sneak up on us like this every year? You would think eventually I would learn to find it before it finds me. Do a stake out or ambush it, or somehow not let it sneak like that. But no, it still gets me every time. Sneaky Christmas.
Fortunately, I have gotten much better in the gift procrastination department over the past couple of years. I like to chip away at it a little at a time, usually starting in October, and I wrap them as I get them. That way, the week before December doesn’t show up and see a scramble to buy decent gifts for people, or a mass amount of things I feel like I have to wrap all at once. It helps keep the crazy down. Of course, this is our last Christmas without a little one, so things may change in the near future, but I hope to still make it a priority not to procrastinate. Not on this particular thing anyway. 😉
What about you? What are your methods of keeping the crazy contained around Christmas? I’d love to hear about it!
And now, a quick look back at fall family love and that pumpkin patch (Bergeson Farm in Peshtigo is awesome, by the way). 🙂
Love,
Kira
