As happens every year now, December is passing by far too quickly, and I am left to play catch-up with my holiday preparations; this year, however, seems to be even worse than most.
I haven't even spent a night driving around to admire Christmas lights, nor have I listened to holiday music as much as I'd have liked. In a season that is undoubtedly my favorite, instead of the normal feelings of excitement over holiday preparations, I've been battling feelings of stress.

This weekend, I am hoping to check-off some of the holiday items on my list, while reminding myself of the joy that comes from the simple pleasures of holiday-flavored lattes, buildings adorned with twinkling lights, and falling asleep by the soft glow of a Christmas tree. In the midst of this busy time of year, I hope you find your weekend filled with many little joys too.
Oh I hear you Courtney - I haven't done any christmas shopping yet, not even a christmas tree - its so sad!
ReplyDeleteHope you have time to stop and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI'm 100% behind too... Hoping the snow motivates me tomm (also, I love to fall asleep with only christmas lights on!)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on your Christmas to dos. Wish we were in town to look at lights together -- and don't forget the hot coco stop as well. Thinking of y'all! xx
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling more "under control" for Christmas. I feel that life is flying at me at a faster-then-normal-rate, too. I'm trying to hang on and enjoy the ride as much as possible, but it's hard not to feel overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Courtney!
I hate how crazy the holidays make everyone. It's a good idea in theory, but really, who is that organized? It's a few days until xmas and I still have presents to buy. Le sigh.
ReplyDeleteCourtney, just wanted to drop by and wish you a merry merry christmas! hoping you and your family have a warm and jolly one! Happy we have connected via the blog world--so glad we are friends!
