I&#8217;m always glad to have that task finished, since if I wait too long the shipping times become an issue. The Advent calendar is another task that can&#8217;t wait, so today I made a rough plan for it and designed most of the tickets that will go into it. But what makes my progress extra impressive is that I&#8217;ve already purchased three major gifts (i.e., crossed three people off my shopping list) as well as several small gifts for the kids.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s goals:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Finish and order the Christmas card.<\/li>\n<li>Finish looking through the year&#8217;s pictures and upload them.
