I'm ready this year.
Most years I feel the spirit of Christmas Present breathing down my neck. My cards aren't done. Shopping is only half done. Certainly nothing is wrapped. I don't have a tree. I feel this holiday panic. Kind of a flutter in my stomach when I think of all that needs to be done.
This year my cards are mailed out. Shopping has been done for a week. Most of the presents are wrapped. And my tree is up and has lights on it. No decorations yet, but maybe I'll get to that soon.
It's like I can actually enjoy the season. I appreciate the lights set up on peoples homes. I sing along to the Christmas songs - which in turn makes me happy. So I look like a nut singing songs in my car with a smile on my face.
Imagine that if you need a laugh this Christmas.
So I wish everyone a peaceful holiday season. May you be with the ones you love.
- PS - All I want for Christmas is you...
