Calm

Something occurred to me while I was out shopping/banking/yoga-ing a few weeks ago...almost every person I came in contact with asked me if I was finished my Christmas shopping yet. The first thing I thought after realizing this, was that this seemingly innocent question is personal on so many levels. Think about it. Weird, huh?

Although I have 1.5 scarves left to knit, all gifts to wrap, house cleaning to do, and a meal for 20 people to cook–I am surprisingly calm. I am officially ready to enjoy the holiday season and slow my pace for the next week. Okay, okay, I do have two business meetings scheduled for next week, but still. I won't be working in my office.

And yes, my Christmas shopping is finished...as of today.
