How many of those days will you be at work? About 65? Give or take a couple? So now we are down to 39 days til Christmas.
How many prior commitments do you have before then, like meetings, weddings, family gatherings, doctor appointments, classes. Add it together, maybe 5 total days worth? Now we are at 34 days til Christmas.
The average person will spend 12 hours grocery shopping over the next few weeks, and about 95 hours preparing and cleaning up from meals. That's (hmmmm) 4.5 days, but I will give you the half day to allow for dining out. Now we are at 30 days til Christmas.
How much time between now and Christmas will you spend shuttling kids around to various activities. 12 hours per week? Some of you might be more, some might be less, let's say 120 hours which is 5 days. For those of you who don't have to shuffle kids around, you and I both know you are just as busy doing other things, so you lose these days too...sorry! 25 days and counting...
Holiday parties and gatherings? For work, neighbors, committees, friends etc. maybe four or five? That's about 25 hours, and at least a day for each of them to recover the next day :-) you've just lost 6 days.
Housework, laundry, bill paying? One full day per week-12 more days. Entertainment (movies, restaurant, hikes in the beautiful fall weather, concerts, socials, poetry readings), lets say you have a below average social life, one day per week-another 12 days. Good grief, I'm just getting started and
