You would think that the pandemic would have given us so much extra time that we'd be ahead of schedule on Christmas...and you'd be wrong. We are at least a week behind our normal timing on shopping and shipping. Packages to our children will not be shipped until later today...which means they more than likely will not arrive in time to be opened on Christmas morning.
Of course, we had things beside the pandemic to deal with. The death of Jill's mother and the planning to attend her funeral took up most of a week that normally would have been our wrapping and packaging time. Then, of course, the snowstorm last week meant getting out to the shipping places was delayed as well.
So, we're working on the idea that anything that arrives by Epiphany on January 6 is on time, since the 12 days of Christmas are the period between December 25 and that date.
