December will find many people preparing for the holidays.  The shopping malls will be mad with impatient crowds checking off their lists:
1. Holiday food
2. Gifts for those they love
3. Fancy red dress
4. Warm gloves and new boots
5. More food
6. Gifts for those they don't..
7. Christmas cards, envelopes, stamps
8. Decorations
9. Goals, 2011
 .
I don't expect to be doing any of these things(though I am in need of new boots!). I find these pressure-filled requirements all too overwhelming and choose to stay away from December Malls altogether, if I can help it.  December will however find me making lists of a sort. Here is my December to-do list:
1. Write List Poetry

Wishing you all a sane & peaceful month . . .
