Every day my baby bassets announce how many days we have left until Christmas. A fun and exciting announcement for them, but a daily reminder of how much I need to panic. “Only 9 more days until CHRISTMAS!” They bounce with anticipation, I sweat with perspiration. It seems like a cruel form of torture that is by no means new. I did the same thing to my parents, and I had no clue as well how much it freaked them out. Every day I tell myself, this is the day I will finish everything I need to do and I will enjoy the rest of the season. Then I don’t finish anything, and I repeat the promise to myself the next day after the daily announcement. It is no wonder I am usually asleep by 9 pm on New Years Eve.
