I know it is earlly November, but the holidays (specifically Thanksgiving and Christmas), are just around the corner. Are you ready? I am not.

I just found out I got the short end of the stick this year to host Christmas at my house.

The dreaded call came yesterday: Cousin Brad is coming with his wife. And three kids. And Aunt Myrtle if they “swing throughSalt Lake Cityon the way down.”

It’s like my very own cult movie based loosely on ‘Christmas Vacation.’ Except my last name is not Griswald and my husband is notClark.

Because of these unexpected events, I need more room. I need a PODS^® container to store my stuff for a few weeks until my guests depart. I figure if I store two desks from the office, our pool table and arcade games from the den, our oversized sofas and chairs and the trampoline from the backyard I can accommodate everyone.

At least we will have room to pass the cranberry stuffing!
