We are already trying to get holiday cards out, planning the Christmas meal, and thinking about Christmas gifts. Where did the year go? It seems like last week that it was summer. I am having Christmas eve at my house this year. I am going to cook something yummy. The tree is already up and decorations are hung. I am not looking forward to holiday shopping. The crowds never used to bother me but now that my time is so precious, I can barely stand waiting in lines to indulge in the mainstream consumerism. But, I will. One day I will live in the middle of no where and just live without hustling in this rat race. Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy Everything!
