You know what?
In exactly six weeks’ time, we will all be logging out of our computers, pushing the chair under the desk, and leaving work because Xmas will be just about here.
Yes, in six weeks’ time it will be Friday the 23rd of December and that means Christmas parties and all the fun starts.
Thing is you now have six weeks to get yourself ready for what is about to happen.
Families coming to stay? Presents to buy? Food to feed the troops? Holiday travel plans to purchase and so much more. Even if you have little kids, this could be just the best time to organise books and stuff for 2023. Don’t leave it until the last minute.
If you’re going to book holidays for Xmas, do it now. Get that perfect camping spot sorted at Seaforth or even at Broken River, so it’s one less thing to do come December. Go shopping now and get those Xmas gifts all done so you’re not mucking around with everyone else at Canelands in the coming weeks.
I’m one of these people that likes to get stuff done beforehand so that when the time comes, I can sit back and relax. I’ve got my list sorted. I’ve been out with my kids and grabbed the right Xmas decorations to use this year, so I know that’s all done in the Kidd household of South Mackay.
One other thing you may have missed is the bottle-o. You know that place that many people like to go shopping at and come home with trolleys of Xmas cheer? Well between now and Xmas Eve, these places will become a place to avoid. Cars, trolley’s and people everywhere, all rushing to get those last available cases and bottles in readiness for your visitors at your place.
If there’s one thing to take from this, it is get it done now. Not next week, now. You can thank me later.
Oh, and a huge thanks to Amanda and all the legends who came to Porters last Saturday for our Jingle Jail. We raised a lot of money for Real Mates Talk and for that I thank you. Your generosity will save many lives.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
