Narrative:
ATC gave late descent clearance for the lda/DME runway 19 approach which created a challenge for us to get down and remain stabilized for the approach. Being very focused on our descent progress I neglected to give the prepare for landing PA until about 3 mi out. The purser put some remaining items away and was not sitting during the landing. Landing and braking were smooth and no injuries occurred.
