It’s almost Christmas time!!

Ho Ho Ho... Yep only a bit more than a week until Christmas! Are you ready, have you finished all your shopping? Got your tree all set up and decorated? Figured out the yummy menu yet? For those of you who celebrate Christmas, don’t you find there is always so much to do this time of year? It is quite astounding that we find ourselves in such a conundrum, because Christmas does arrive at the same time each and every year! But alas, most of us seem to enjoy the hustle and bustle of waiting until the last week to accomplish everything!  Yep that includes me.  Although my list is much smaller than it was when I first started, it seems that the hours in a day have somehow succeeded in going by faster than I would like.

I also believe that the reason we have a big turkey dinner at the holidays, is because most of us will not have eaten a proper dinner in the week leading up to Christmas. Especially those of us who work in the retail business, our days just get longer and busier as the big day approaches, and take out and frozen dinners seem to be the go to foods!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love this time of year, probably even a little bit more because of the craziness of it all! But there is something to be said about the holiday spirit. It’s a silent, happy and somewhat peaceful sound that you can’t hear, yet it manages to surround us and engulf our souls. It’s the reason that people seem a little bit nicer, they walk a little bit lighter, and smile a lot easier, and there almost seems to be an invisible  glow of  goodness that emanates from them. Think of it like watching a happy, sappy, romance movie, when the movie is over, it leaves you feeling all wonderful, warm and fuzzy!!  Yep that’s how Christmas makes you feel!!!

So I would like to wish everyone a most merry, happy and wonderfully sappy Christmas!!
