The Grinch!

My Christmas present shopping is done!  I powered through the mall for a solid 4 hours last week and then another 2 hours on Saturday.  I really do not enjoy the malls at this time of the year but I am thankfully done!  Well I have one more gift but that is a voucher so I don't need to brave any malls or queues to buy it!

I have also managed to wrap everything, it is all sitting pretty under our Christmas tree.  Now just to prepare for the 17 people that are going to be here!

I usually LOVE Christmas and I also LOVE entertaining and making crafty things such as decorations.  This year however, I am feeling like a bit of a Grinch!

I don't feel like it's Christmas even after putting up our tree, shopping and wrapping all of the presents.  I don't feel like entertaining 17 people on Christmas day, I don't feel like making all these preparations, I don't feel like being happy and smiling at everyone!

I probably sound like a horrible person but believe me I am not, I am usually a very friendly, bubbly, happy person!

This year however, I just wish that G and I could run away to Bali or somewhere, anywhere for Christmas!  I can't of course because I would most likely have 15 very unhappy people that might be slightly angry with me, but the thought is nice anyway.

I know everything will fall into place and I will go back to being my bubbly self, this is after all mine and G's first Christmas as "Mr & Mrs" but for right now, I'm feeling grumpy...

Till next time!
L "aka, the 2011 Grinch"
