Wow! You are being so productive! I am impressed. All I've been doing is marking assignments and a bit of light tidying.

It's ne of those times when I've no choice about being productive! Too much to do and not enough pairs of hands to do it.

Ah, yes, you can do a lot when you have too much to do and an immovable deadline!

The most organised I've ever been for Christmas was the year I was expecting my son and my due date was 25th December. :)

Take care of yourself and don't overdo things.

When we used to be on the road with the Christmas show each year we used to be gigging from the last weekend in November through to (often) the 23rd December, so we'd arrive home in the early hours of 24th and then have to make a start on Christmas. We always managerd - and sometimes we had large numbers of people arriving for Christmas Dinner (14 one year).

I used to do my Christmas shopping all over the country. Between setting up the stage in the early afternoon and doing soundchecks around 6.00 I'd nip out to the shops - especially good when we played places like Worcester (which is brilliant for Christmas Shopping and the theatre backs right on to the shopping precinct).

On the day of the last gig I'd try and make sure we stopped off at a supermarket for some last minute essentials so I arrived home ready to rock and toll in the kitchen.

When the kids were the right age they'd have been organised by Grandma to put up some decorations.

And then on Christmas Eve morning BB would dash out to find a tree and I'd start on the cooking. Many years the stairs didn't get hoovered but - what the hell - we still had a good Christmas.
