Christmas Preparations.
7 Dec 2008 06:29 pmHmm - things are not as organised as they should be...
I did not start making Christmas cards when I usually do, and so they are all very simple this year. The cat trying to sit in the middle of the papers, card and glue doesn't really help a lot!
I have lost my 'Christmas Book' - the one with the addresses for cards, and the list of people I usually send them too, so that I forget as few as possible. Goodness knows where it is - I thought I could just put my hand on it, but no.
On the plus side, I have just checked on the Christmas cake, and it is maturing nicely. I've given it another small glass of rum, and will get around to marzipaning it next weekend.
I've bought all the presents for the Sunday School children by going into town straight after church at lunch-time - I'm not sure how well that is observing the Sabbath...
I have worked out who is doing what in the Church Nativity, and we have about half an hour next week to practice! I reckon if I copy off the whole script for almost everyone involved so that they can see the instructions for when they walk to where, we should be OK. But I must go down to church some evening this week and sort out all the costumes so that we won't have to take up practice time with costume arguments! It'll be fine on the day - well probably - it usually is!
On the down side, I have developed a really dry, hacking cough - I hope it's not a sign of a bad cold, I could do without that right now!
Also - question for my cookie making friends - I usually only make cookies a day or two before I give them to people. If I started now, with peanut butter ones, or choc chip ones, and kept them in tins, would they still be fine in 2 weeks time?
