There are only 10 days left until Christmas.
That’s plenty of time to get everything done.
Wait. What?
No.
NINE?!?
WHAT?!?!?
How is that even possible?
I mean, it was *just* December first, wasn’t it?
Remember … we got out the Advent calendars and started counting down the days … and started baking … and shopping … and wrapping … and tidying … and decorating … it was just yesterday, wasn’t it?
Hmm? Whazzat?
It was 16 days ago.
Wut.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Nobody panic.
Breathe.
Mmmm. Cinnamon.
Everything will be just fine.
I know this because some very smart people I know have lots of excellent advice, tips, tricks and secrets for keeping your yule cool.
So Christmas will take care of itself. Great!
Now there’s just the teensy matter of fact that I will have a teenager in my house tomorrow.
What kind of advice do we have for that?
Please share.
