We have reached the bottom. I would love to be able to put a positive spin on this one, but this is just one of those household jobs that I have to work very hard to commit to doing.

Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to tell yourself that there is no time like the present to get an unpleasant task out of the way. I’m a hands-and-knees-kind-of-mopper. Never did like the idea of sloshing around dirty water on my floor. Do you have a method of mopping that works? I would love to hear your ideas.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is the music! I love bringing out my old Christmas CDs, but I always buy a new CD each year. Here is a list of CDs I would like for this year.

1. What A Night! A Christmas Album by Harry Connick, Jr.(2008)
2. Noel by Josh Groban (2007)
3. A Swingin’ Christmas by Tony Bennett (2008)
4. The Christmas Collection by Amy Grant (2008)
5. White Christmas by Matt Belsante (2008)
6. Let It Snow by Michael Buble (2007)
7. And Winter Came by Enya (2008)
8. A Winter Symphony by Sarah Brightman (2008)
9. Songs of Joy & Peace by Cristina Pato, Nilson Matta, Robert Leslie III Hurst, Matt Brubeck, and Yo-Yo Ma (2008)
10. The Hotel Cafe Presents…Winter Songs by Various Artists (2008)

As we’ve been working our way down in cleaning this week, we are now ready for the floors. The only equipment you will need today is a broom, a dustpan, a vacuum cleaner, and some muscle. We’re going to get a bit of a workout today!
