One week until Christmas, 6 days until Yule, and I have left things until the last days once again. The external motivation of the impending deadline has triggered my self-motivation. I won't be discussing the topic of motivating myself to do horribly boring tasks until the holidays are over. Trust me, those tasks aren't getting done.
My husband and I baked about 160 cookies today, which means we're almost halfway done. I bake between 4-8 types of cookies during the holidays. These cookies comprise the bulk of my holiday gift giving items.
Tomorrow I make the list of people who are getting cookies (because I always forget someone), who needs their own cookie tin, and who will also be getting another gift. Then, I break out the sewing machine, for I have a Plan. Of course, this week is already stuffed full of activities. Makes it all more exciting, you know.
For your viewing pleasure, here are pictures of cookies.

Beautiful cookies--and I'm glad you decided to put off a few things during the holidays. Nothing wears you out more than trying to "do it all." I'm pround of you both.
