And the latest breaking news from the Christmas Watch 2005 control room!
- GIFTS: Printed off the list from last year, and reviews and updated it. Secret Santa gifts have only partially arrived, worryingly enough. About a quarter of the way through the catalogs — our “shopping” got interrupted by occurances of a Higher Priority yesterday, which happens. But now I’m out for the week on business, which puts us dangerously near shipping deadlines for the holidays. On the other hand, I think I am done with Katherine shopping and (local) Margie shopping. Status:
- CARDS: Skipping the holiday letter this year (undone). Not sure what to do with Twelfth Night invites. Did a first pass on the Christmas Card list yesterday, culling out some obsolete names (and inserting a few new ones). Have packed up the cards (some of them, at least) with me for my trip, in hope that I’ll get some of them done. If not … Status:
- DECORATIONS: No change. Unable to fix tree light string, so will likely decorate around it. When we get to that. Skipped Game Day this weekend (just as well), but no progress in this. Not a most critical item, but … Status:
- TRAVEL: All’s cool. Status:
Meanwhile, other crises (most of them of my making) are also demanding attention (and there are none of them I don’t want to be attending to), and … well, as I said, I’m off on business for most of the week, so let’s just say I’m looking forward to some time off over the holidays — though I wish that time off wasn’t so imminent … 🙂
This has been an update from Christmas Watch 2005!

Urg. Secret Santa gifts from Amazon. I didn’t double-check the order, and it turns out they were all (as the default is set) waiting on the slowest item — which was going to have the whole kit-and-kaboodle arrive after Christmas. I broke it apart, and some of it all *may* arrive in time for the actual gift exchange. Rrg.
