Well, here we are - just 24 days away from a Very Important Holiday: Christmas.
My kids are SO excited - they just can’t STAND it (even though we have yet to make our home look any different from how it did for Halloween). By the adorable excitement on their faces - you would think Christmas were in the next few days. While I’m EXTREMELY thankful that it’s not.
I’m FAR from prepared (did you read the part about not have decorated one little, tiny bit?).
And of course, we’re the only home on the block that is clearly darkened as if Scrooge lives here. Or the Grinch. Or anyone who says, “Ba Humbug” when it comes to this particular joyful time of year.
Honestly, I’m excited about Christmas also. Just to know that another special season with twinkle lights is basically here - gives me that warm glow feeling.
THE THING IS - making the time and finding the energy to actually decorate, shop for and wrap just the perfect gifts, mail Christmas cards (YES - we still do that!), attend fun & festive parties (ok - that part is actually pretty awesome!) can be a challenge.
Suddenly, I long for a “simple, quiet” Christmas.
LOTS to do. Christmas boxes to unpack. Kids to excite even more.
Sleepy just thinking about it. Maybe red nails will help wake me up and get me going!
