Bring on December!

As November winds down, I already feel behind as I flip the calendar to December tomorrow.  No Christmas decorations up, scrambling to get my Christmas cards done so that I can get them in the mail tomorrow (which is my yearly tradition), and only a few presents bought.  The season is such a rush to do this and that and go here and there, which is probably why I already feel behind and it's not even December yet!  There's plenty of time.  There's plenty of time.  Right?  Actually, there are so many holiday festivities going on this weekend to kick-off the Christmas season, but unfortunately it's going to be rainy, wet and cold here on Saturday.  Bah humbug!

Give me another week...or at least a full week of December to get into holiday gear!  Slowly, but surely I'll get there this year.  How are you doing on your holiday decorating, gift buying, and/or party planning?  Are you prepped for the season or completely done with everything?  Before you know it, it'll be New Year's Eve and we'll be ringing in a new year...again!  Yikes!  Another full year come and gone.  How?  Where?  When?

Well, I may not be fully ready for the holiday season just yet, but bring on December!  All the holiday lights, Christmas carols, beautifully wrapped gifts, holiday decor, etc...take it all in and enjoy all the holiday cheer!  Whether you're ahead or behind with your holiday to-do list, take time to appreciate all the goodness, love and joy in your life!  And, may blessings fill your holiday season with God's light, love and grace!!
