Hey There!
This is what I'm looking at tonight as I type...
This is what I'm looking at tonight as I type...
I love the glow of the lights!
How's your Christmas preparations coming?
Mine??
not so good!
not so good!
I have some shopping done...but not all
I have some wrapping done...but not all
(actually only 2 are wrapped)
(and one of those got wrapped just last night, because needed it for a Christmas party today!)

I have had some baking done...but not all...
(and it's already gone)...
(and it's already gone)...
So I'm a bit stressed to say the least!
Remember the good ole days...
when you were a kid...
you remember...
Such a magical time!
Christmas seemed to take 4-EVER to get here!
As an adult it's...
rush, rush, rush...
shop...
hustle bustle...
work....
clean...
decorate....
shop some more....
cook...
bake...
shop some more...
shop...
shop...
shop...
then wrap for hours!
Even though it sounds like I'm complaining...
I'm really not...
I love Christmas!...
but we're down to the last week folks!
I can't believe Christmas is just a week away!
There's a whirlwind going on over here!
Next year I want to be done by Thanksgiving!
(I say that every year)
but just once, I REALLY want to be
done by Thanksgiving...
so I can just enjoy the
magic of Christmas...
relaxed...
without the stress!
LIKE A CHILD!
Wide eyed!
savoring every moment...
where tangled lights won't get me in a tizzy...
where visions of sugar plums dance in my head
and on my clothes...
and on my face...
Just playing...
and rockin around the Christmas tree...
Hanging with family...
Just plain happy in the moment...
WITHOUT A CARE...
but...if I don't...and next year finds me scrambling right up until the last moment, that's ok too...I'm still gonna love Christmas...
