Christmas approaching

I’ve finally started to feel that Christmas is coming. This seems to happen later and later every year, due to mounting pressures at work and general haste in life. I made enormous push during the past two weeks, and purchased all presents, wrappings, and other paraphernalia needed. Now I just need to wrap the presents, and hide them for a few days.

We’ll spend the holiday season in North Carelia, in my parents to be exact. Boys are eagerly waiting for the extended weekend with the grandparents, and I’m looking forward for a couple of days that are at least relatively peaceful and quiet.

Before that, however, there are still things to be done — I need to continue wrapping up the presents.
