Our big Christmas dinner with extended family members is tomorrow afternoon at my mom’s house. We always do it on Christmas Eve so we can spend Christmas Day with our immediate family. Anyway, I’m in charge of bringing some side dishes and a couple dozen cookies. I was thinking ahead and bought the ingredients several days ago so I wouldn’t have to hit the stores this close to Christmas.
But then my mom called and asked me if I could bring a nice centerpiece with me, as she didn’t have time to go out and get one herself. So I had to brave the weather today and run out to see what the local flower shop had. As I feared, there wasn’t much to choose from at this point in time. I walked out with what looked like an arrangement of wedding flowers and hope that my mom will be satisfied with it.
Well, it’s not my fault. This is what happens when you put stuff off until the last minute at Christmastime!
