Christmas??? So soon?

How slack and lackadaisical am I? I was at a meeting on Monday night, and Christmas cards started appearing in front of me. Well that's about right, its expected in December, yet the thought of writing some myself had never entered my head, and I can't work out why...

I could say I was wrapped up in events are regarding the house (if you are on speaking terms with Alicia please ask her discreetly), or I was busy with astronomical stuff, or other things but it wouldn't be true. My memory must have more holes in it than a sieve. Shameful, isn't it?
