I love the decorations, cards, twinkling lights, special treats (fudge, frosted sugar cookies, etc.), music, parties, smells, the feelings of excitement and anticipation, the remembrances of our Savior's birth and his gift to us, family, friends and even Santa and the giving of gifts! What I WISH I loved was the process of getting there; especially when I'm running behind. I am behind this year. I remind myself that the journey is what makes up our lives but in a secret place in my brain I wonder how it would feel to have all the decorations up, the cards mailed and the shopping DONE when December 1st showed up. I have never accomplished this feat! I have a feeling that I never will. I checked my gift giving list today and I'm probably not even half way done. No Christmas decorations are up. How could they be? I just barely put Thanksgiving away today. Cards - I remember discussing the cards with Greg and commenting that we needed a picture of us for our cards this year. That's where the card project still stands.
I can't account for all the other years when I've been behind but this year I know why I am. Having the entire family (minus one special daughter) for Thanksgiving for a week is my reason. I know it's a good reason. So I begin my December dance once again and once again, I'm behind!!!!
