The only thing to do is crack on with something else while you wait, but it is hard to put the hard-slogged submission out of your mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024839242400375699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352454847125851425.post-58046043017181900732011-11-21T01:10:06.946-08:002011-11-21T01:10:06.946-08:00I like the idea of buying your tree in advance - b...I like the idea of buying your tree in advance - being a late Christmas type there never is a great choice when we go to look. Maybe I'll take a tip out of your book, Teresa!Jessica Gilmore https://www.blogger.com/profile/11315382943510090477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352454847125851425.post-956053120606908372011-11-20T12:50:52.857-08:002011-11-20T12:50:52.857-08:00opps... looking at wrong work calendar. That's...opps... looking at wrong work calendar. That's 2012. Weekend 17/18 December probably this year tree will go in ;-) (I usually go buy it beginning of December and it gets left outside... only because I don't want to not get a decent real tree lol!)Teresa F Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368928238008888457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352454847125851425.post-63679210106134220472011-11-20T12:48:30.879-08:002011-11-20T12:48:30.879-08:00Firstly, I feel exactly the same about Christmas. ...Firstly, I feel exactly the same about Christmas. We tend to put outside lights on a bit earlier (but in December I hasten to add) because the boys like it... and it takes a while to put them up. And then take them down lol! So we like to make it worth while! <br /><br />When I was a kid, my dad was big on Christmas. He still is. And so I am too. I have ALWAYS a real tree, lots of decorations - honestly my house does look bare when I take them down in January. But they won't go in/up until around, well this year will be the weekend 15/16th of December. (About a week before Christmas eve, depending on where it falls obviously). <br /><br />I can't understand those eager to put tree up etc on 1st December, then rip them down Boxing Day. There are 12 days to Christmas, and believe it or not, it's AFTER the 24th December. <br /><br />To delay Christmas some more, my son's birthday is the 4th December. So I don't allow a Christmas card up until his cards have had a good week out on show! <br /><br />As for the other waiting. Good luck. You just have to keep at it, revise it etc. I've yet to submit yet... but I am fearing the reality of rejections. You'll get there in the end though ;-)Teresa F Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368928238008888457noreply@blogger.com
