red alert: christmas crafting in december.

As my mother and sister will attest, I'm already sick of Christmas music. Not all Christmas music sucks, mind you, but there seems to be a wild theme this year, where ever I go, that the likes of Wayne Newton, Neil Diamond, and worst of all Johnny Mathis will be there, destroying perfectly fine carols. Johnny Mathis has the anti-Christmas voice to me. I hear his voice and I immediately want to punch something. And I'm not a violent person, normally. He just hits a nerve. A very irritable nerve that likes to punch things.

As Christmas gets closer and closer, I'm trying to pull together all the projects I started throughout the fall in my attempt to make as many gifts as possible. I've been thinking about Christmas gifts since late August or so. Unfortunately, I didn't get near enough done before December, so I have three weeks to do a lot of crafting. I'm actually kind of excited about it. It feels sort of like a challenge. I finished a gift earlier this week and I'm close to finishing another. The clock is ticking...
