Procrastination, Holiday Edition

My husband said we had to stop packing at midnight so he could construct my gift.

I’d managed to order his from Amazon in time for delivery on Dec. 24, but only because I got him something that I had wanted to give him last year, only to discover the local store didn’t have it and it was to late to get it online.

In other shopping news, we continue to do our part for the holiday shopping statistics. Aside from us buying the house, I was out on Christmas Eve day purchasing a refrigerator and packing materials. (If I’d bought the fridge earlier, I could have had in in black, to match the stove and dishwasher that conveyed with the house, but in order to have it delivered by the time we move in, I went with white.)

Also, how much more in the spirit of both Christmas and spending can it be than to hire a carpenter?

Merry Christmas, to those of you who celebrate it.
