These posts are starting to feel like Workdesk avoidance posts...here's where I spent a solid couple of hours yesterday...
Making a wrapping mess in the dining room. Ive got half jobs done all over the house and I'm a one-job-at-a-time person really, so I really need to do some finishing, or I'm going to go quite mad! Yesterday I finished the tree, or as much as is going to be done, anyway. We put it up on Saturday and my baby great nieces helped to decorate it...so i finished it by spreading the decorations around...at one point all the snowflakes were hung on one branch, all the 'grey' ( it caused a discussion..grey? or silver?) baubles were squashed onto another single branch and inevitably, there was about four foot of naked tree! I cant find the star that goes on top either, no doubt it will show up. I was too afraid to look under the china cabinet, it will cause another job to be written on the list because I can guarantee there will be dust, and at this point, it's easier not to see it!
I hope your plans and preps for the Christmas holiday are going well and that you're enjoying some glittery anticipation, make yourself a hot chocolate and browse the deskers preparations...some of them are so well prepared that they have moved into non-christmas crafting for next year! I kid you not. Join us over at Sarah's.

I'm chuckling at your comment about moving on to non Christmas crafts....I wouldn't go that far but I did put all my Christmas craft stuff away yesterday more because I'd had enough of it than I'd actually finished it :-) I hope you manage to get your jobs finished soon so you can enjoy some chill out time.
Hugs,

I'm saying nothing about Christmas craft stuff as I can hardly find anything else as it's taken over and I'm fed up with it now and want to move on. What with that and Christmas paper! Lucky me i don't have to worry about the Christmas tree as it's the one job hubby enjoys and I let him do it. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x10x
I am sure all the jobs will be ticked off your list soon if I know you Julia. The tree looks lovely - hope you find the star. Sarah
My tree is still awaiting decoration - I like it to arrive just in time for Christmas. My darling daughter turned up with 150 bookmarks for me to edge so I guess my Christmas stuff will be packed away tomorrow and any spare time will be well spent helping Tilly.. All the best for Christmas and New Year. x x Jo 🌈
I'd love room for a big tree but can't face the huge clearout that would be required . I've not finished Christmas prep apart from the cards. Just needed a non Christmas play . And used Christmas stamps... go figure Helen #3
I am just at the stage you are by the look of it - still gift wrapping to be done and housework - there's something about Christmas decorations that illuminate all the dust and clutter that needs sorting! How lovely to have help with your tree decorating, it's quite magical when little ones are involved (although like you say there's a lot of moving decorations around afterwards). I hope you find your star soon.
Have a lovely Christmas,
