Almost Christmas

Christmas is almost here. I am trying to take a step back and enjoy the holidays rather then get all worked up about shopping, cooking and cleaning. It is hard to remember the true meaning of Christmas when you are so wrapped up in the chaos. I need to focus of my family, making memories and my faith.

Merry Christmas to all...

Oh Christmas Spirit, Where Are You?

Christmas is almost here. The tree is up, cookies made, spreadsheet created (but so not populated with purchased gifts), but where o where is my Christmas spirit? Every year I tell myself that I will stand back and enjoy the holiday season. But it seems like this year I have not stopped to even think about the season. I have been going through the motions - cookies, ornaments and eating of course, but I have yet to celebrate the true reason for the season.

My goal today and each today until Christmas is to remember why we celebrate Christmas and to enjoy all the blessings in my life. I want to give, I want to surround myself in the love of my family and friends. I want to appreciate how truly blessed I am.
