Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! We really are in the home stretch now!

Today has been truly crazy. And it’s like my brain knew it would be - I woke up at 9 am ON THE DOT ready to get work done. I worked for a few hours - making sure my inbox was free and clear and then proceeded to get showered and head out for some ultra-last-minute shopping. I needed wrapping supplies and stocking stuffers, so off I went.

I shopped for hours in the Christmas craziness. But, I was prepared - I just put my AirPods in and wandered around the store calmly and in a relaxed fashion.

Then, when I had already gotten home and sat down to start wrapping, I pulled the last little bit of tape out of the dispenser. Shit. So, back out in a flash, I went. Only this time, when I returned, I realized I had left in such a rush that locked myself out of my apartment! Double shit. I had to have someone come and let me back in before I was able to continue wrapping and get the rest of my to-do list ticked off. What a day.

But, my packages and stockings all turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself…

Then, famished, I made myself some Ramen, watered the plants, finished some laundry and now here I am - writing to you.

It’s a crazy day here around the Hall-Cramer abode. I am really looking forward to things going back to some form of normal here soon. I don’t know how much more Christmas cheer I can take. 🤪

That’s all for me, folks. I’ve got more holiday festivities to take part in tonight and even more all day tomorrow. I’ll pop on sometime tomorrow and show you the goodies both Ethan and I got from Santa. 🎄

For now, have a wonderful Christmas Eve with family, friends, your pets, your partner, or just yourself. No matter who you’re celebrating with tonight, I hope you feel warm and cozy and filled with Christmas joy.

Have a good night, folks. And a very, very Merry Christmas from Espresso Myself!
