Hibernation?

At the moment pupils and my alarm clock have holidays - so I can sleep in every morning and obviously need plenty of sleep right now. Still I feel tired all day long, sometimes really exhausted. For several days now I thought that hibernation is tempting. Maybe not all winter, but what about 2 months? Imagine to wake up 2 weeks before Xmas - having lost plenty of weight. Hungry for all the wonderful food over the holidays....Well, that's only a dream, as the food just wouldn't be ready if everyone would hibernate.

Right now I have far too much to do, especially for Xmas, than to sleep more than necessary. I just wish, I had more energy for everything beside the ordinary chores. 

As I work more hours in December we started some years ago our traditional baking during the autumn holidays - like now. No - the biscuits don't last until Xmas, but at least we have selfmade ones for a couple of weeks. Now, that the girls are old enough they usually manage some more on their own in December.

Today I looked through my sheet music to choose the Xmas songs I'd like to play with my harp this year. Last year my harp didn't have any levers, so I could only play songs in D-major - now I can play most songs - if I manage to learn them. Due to lack of time for practising I only played my Xmas songs with one hand last year. For this year I decided to learn less songs, but play them with both hands. Even the well known melodies sound so much nicer. And the family will be only too happy if they don't have to listen that long on Xmas Eve. ;)

Finally there's the Xmas shopping to do and some presents to make. I better get started - no time to sleep.....
