Christmas is around the corner, and the older I get, the faster it seems to come and go. I'm determined this year not to let it smack me on the bum on its way out, but to corner it, embrace it, and try to let it linger in my home for as long as possible. Sooooo....The tree is up, the nativity scene in place, my crafting skills emerged to make a couple yarn wreaths, (thanks Pinterest, see below) the Christmas music is on, all of our sweaters are out of storage, the hot chocolate is brewing, and we've already watched some Christmas movies. Does that entice you? It should. Come over already!
We are going to the Christmas devotional tonight, and are excited for all of the other fun things planned for this month. Have I even started my Christmas shopping? Nope. Do I care? Not really. Did I do any Black Friday shopping? Heck no! Not this year! There is no way I'm letting Christmas get the best of me and make me feel rushed and stressed to find the perfect gifts for everyone. Nope. I am going to enjoy the little moments a little bit more, serve a little more, and most importantly I'm going to focus on the Savior a little more. He has given us the greatest gift of all... Already I feel happier. :)
