(Auntie Mame. You got that, right?)
Here's the thing. Saturday, at knitting, people were planning their Christmas knitting. And of course, it's not too early for that, but I choked. I'm pretty much ready to start thinking about planning to research the possibility of shopping the "back to school" sales ;) (I don't want to over-commit, there!) Christmas is out of the question.
Or I thought it was. On the way to rock climbing this morning, the girl-child and I were chatting. If we're going to invite ourselves to someone's house for Christmas, it's actually not too early to start
I'm petrified. I'm excited.
Christmas 1 - I fled, plain and simple. I went to Montgomery and stayed with my brother and his family and was pretty much a fixture that people worked around.
Christmas 2 -I traveled. That's different. I went to a sister's house. I also had a tree and decorations in my own house -the beginnings of pulling it together on the holiday front.
But this year, apparently, I'm staying put and doing Christmas here. I would love to invite the sibs here, but the no-furniture thing will not be entirely rectified by then. But I've claimed a future Christmas for that.
I'm sad. I'm thrilled. Sheesh.

I think this is wonderful. New Christmas should be part of your new life.
I think the answer is clear--charge each of your sibs with bringing a piece of furniture. Bring Your Own Chair! Airbeds can be had for relatively cheap at Target. Beyond that, all you need are dishes and utensils, right?
