“Girl I have already started cleaning,” my girlfriend said to me. “I want to make sure that by December 1st I finish everything. I don’t think I want that rush this year.”
As she spoke, I must confess I felt a pang of jealousy and at the same time my heart started to race. The first was because I wished I had started my cleaning too and second came when I thought of all the work I have to do.
Yes I am talking about Christmas cleaning, though I will never understand why we women put ourselves through so much physical, emotional and psychological stress during this very jolly, merry season.
