just about a week to go and i’m not getting anywhere done with my holiday to-do list. sure, we’ve got jan’s gifts settled and i’ve got a list of what i’m intending to get the others, but have yet to actually go out and buy them, arrgh. if it would have been possible to get everything online, i would, rather than trying to squeeze through the crowds (majority of whom aren’t really shopping, but just enjoying the aircon!).

getting christmas gifts delivered also becomes tedious when you’re operating from overseas. i’ve more or less given up on the idea of sending parcels to the philippines because i know that by this time, it would take a small miracle for it to arrive before the 24th… that is, if it arrives at all. we’re still rushing on some small knick-knacks we’d like to send the in-laws back in germany, though, and we’re counting on the deutsche post efficiency to pull it through.

yikes, there’s still the last few days of jan’s adventskalendar to get and wrap (father christmas was able to get only the first 18 gifts delivered and said he’d make a second trip to bring the rest ;) ). and then there’s still the family newsletter to write.

sometimes, i think holidays are too much for my shrinking brain (did you know that pregnancy makes your brain shrink?)
