Holidays and ADD!!!!

Thanksgiving and Christmas are entirely too close together, for the scattered mind.
I had not even unloaded the Thanksgiving dishes, when my elves were bringing up the Christmas boxes from the basement. Or so it seemed.
The holidays are a tad stressful for the, oh so organized, but for the Attention Deficit person, Chaos cometh!!!La,La,La,La,Fa!!!! For example, while cooking Thanksgiving delights, my thoughts switch gears to re potting plants. I was measuring flour and sugar, and whipping cream in the mixer. Emma was cutting up cherries and celery. I was calling to Bill," I need the potting soil!" It was getting cold, and two plants on the deck, needed saving!!! One fantastic, jello/cream cheese salad and pumpkin pudding,stopped mid stir. Replanting two plants, would only take 5 minutes.
AN hour later, a pulled back muscle, and locating the red chargers, to place under the plants, so it looks like Christmas, the plants were safe inside!!(run on sentences, also an ADD problem!!!) Back to cooking.
The Thanksgiving dinner was delicious,and beautiful. Sharing food with , the family, the best reason to cook.
Then come "The Boxes", filled with Joy. ADD Nirvana, maybe not!!! but what an adventure!!! My journey with the Holidays,always cracks me up. I just spent an hour looking for,baby Jesus, and remembered the dog ate it last year!!!
