Preparing for the festive season

The festive season has felt very busy this year. I’ve been running around trying to get the house in order so that we could finally start inviting friends over, making Christmas cards (seemed like a good idea before I realised I needed to make 160 of them – although am glad I did it now that they’re done!), making Christmas presents. Most of these are things I do every year, but on top of it I’ve also been trying to sort out work for the new year which has made things a little more stressful than they would have been otherwise.
