What I have done to prepare for the arrival of my mother in law this Christmas:
Moved tons of boxes out of the spare room
Painted half of the walls
Moved tons of boxes back into the spare room, as they were cluttering the house
And out again
Painted the other half of the walls
Moved boxes back in
And back out
Painted the radiator and half the skirting
Boxes again
Still need to paint the second half of skirting
Still need to put up bed which we bought several months ago
Still need to get some food
Still need to actually work out what on earth we do with the boxes that are cluttering her room
Tried to sort out our whole life in time for her arrival. This was an ill-advised venture that was always going to end in disappointment.
What I have done to prepare for the coming of Christ:
Offloaded responsibility for organising a worship service onto some other poor mug
Actually went to a children's praise service, where I was made to pay for the offloading by being asked' very publicly to play Shine Jesus Shine with, oh, 5 seconds notice
Set up a blog to talk about advent
