We are now officially on the downhill side of Christmas, and we all know how quickly things speed up when going down hill. However it is insanely hot here and nothing says "Hey Anne, why don't you do something Christmasy?"
Our house does have central a/c which makes the inside bearable and we have a separate unit to keep the upstairs cool, but no one is here to use the bedrooms thus we keep the thermostat set at 81 and close it off from the main level. 81 degrees is not unbearable, but it is hotter than I want to be, so unfortunately all the plans I had for finishing the room of horrors are on hold until the weather breaks. Yeah, like I was really going to do that! I still have at least 14 weeks before things are critical, right?
I do have several new to me recipes of Christmas cookies I wanted to try, but it was also just too hot to turn on the oven, so I didn't, nor will I until this heatwave is over.
I guess the long and short of it is I may or may not do anything even remotely resembling Christmas prep depending on the weather.
Ho, Ho, Hot!
Anne
