I do clean. By the time she's finished, I'll have my sock drawer sorted out. I really can't stand impeccably neat people. So do me a favor and don't go writing letters to the editor of The Weekly, crying because I hurt your feelings. Yes, all those birthday cards may collect dust, but people actually took the time to send them to you.
Orderly people are lousy in a crisis during the holidays.
Before company comes they tear through the house, vacuuming the dust balls under the refrigerator and wiping down all 446 tiles in the basement bathroom. With a new toothbrush. Tidy people can't sit back and enjoy a Christmas tree they have to sit beside it with a dustpan, waiting agitatedly to catch each falling needle. But enough picking on neat people. They try, we try.
