How Many Weeks?

Christmas is in roughly three weeks. Usually the shopping is done and half are wrapped, the decorations are up and I am busy baking in the kitchen. This year the decorations are up, but that's it.
I do most of my shopping online on Black Friday, from my couch with a big cup of coffee. This year, I was so unmotivated that I didn't even set my alarm for 4am, like I usually do. I got up at my usual 7:00 (my weekend wake up time) and made my coffee and lazily ordered stuff for everyone but my family. Weird? Yes.
The baking hasn't happened yet either. I made a batch of peppernuts, which were done before the week was up and that is all I have made. Unfortunately Weight Watchers only allows so many points and I am really trying to stick with the rules. It also helps that my husband has been nice enough to "remind" me how hard I have been working on this diet. Normally I would want to punch him in the face, but I am learning that he is trying to help me and he isn't offensive about it so I let it slide.
So I guess I have a lot of shopping to do the next couple weeks. Good thing I learned of a couple toys that are the newest hot commodity this year so I know what the boys would enjoy.
I know it will all work out, but I really need to get into the holiday mood. Maybe a couple more pumpkin spice lattes? My wool coat? A trip to Christmas Tree Lane? Ahhh, who knows!
