How can it be almost December?

I've spent the evening writing out Christmas cards, and in the annual scramble to find lost or misplaced addresses. I've been looking over the last gifts I need to buy for Christmas, and it hit me.

It's almost December - already!

And a wierd thing happens in December, time speeds up, and is eaten or something - because it seems to fly by with none spare like in other months. Every second is occupied with something beit mundane or festive. And before we even realise the new year is hurtling towards us.

My aim is to get as many things done as I can before Thursday, the clock is ticking......
