Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas >noun (pl. Christmases) 1 (also Christmas Day) the annual Christian festival celebrating Christ's birth, held on 25 December. Oxford Press

So many questions. Why do I always get caught up in the material parts of Christmas? What to buy everyone? What to decorate with? What to cook? Who to spend the holidays with? I know it's about the birth of our Lord and being with our loved ones. Someday, I hope to focus on it being more about the birth of our Lord and less about these things. Until then, I'm going to try to figure out...

Why does time always seem to escape me? I don't feel busy but, I have no idea where this month has gone. This time of year always seems to fly by. I remember being a kid and
Christmas always felt ions away. The count down felt like an eternity. As an adult,we spend so much time preparing that it comes and goes before we know it. This year, I put my tree up in mid November. Even before my birthday. I thought it would slow things down. Somehow I thought it would make me feel like I waited longer for Christmas to arrive. Now here I am the day before Christmas and it feels like I just put my tree up. Maybe next year, I'll put my tree up in October :)


Ok, that's the end of this babble session :)


Merry Christmas and wishes for a blessed New Year!
