Man, how did December manage to sneak up so quickly this year? Maybe it was the mild fall we had, but I feel utterly unprepared for Christmas to be just around the corner.
Brian has been sick for almost a month, the weather has turned to ludicrous cold and I’ve been slogging through a feeling of extended writer’s block, or, more accurately, writer’s blah. Suffice to say, I’m not feeling it.
In an effort to jump start my Holiday spirit…I bought a tree on Thursday. At Costco. I see you, don’t go rolling your eyes at me, so I bought a fake tree. I can’t help it if I’m allergic to pine trees. Really I am, all those needles on the floor make me itch!
For all my complaining, my bah humbug is slowly turning around…the boys LOVE Christmas, especially Ben. Ben is all about the magic. He wants hot cocoa and Christmas Carols. He wants lights, decorations and advent wreaths. He wants to color a star every night to give a present to Baby Jesus…a sky filled of all the times he thought about him.

Any crankiness I've been feeling, stressing about my to do list is melting fast…now, where are those pine scented candles?
Ho Ho Ho- here’s wishing all of you peace joy and contentment as we prepare for the real reason of the season.
Peace-
