I am so not in the Christmas mood. I was cleaning out old emails today when I ran across one from November that read, "Get such and such in time for the holiday season," and I thought, oh no, I don't want to think about Christmas right now. What if it were really here? What if I had to go shopping and write out cards and decorate my house? What if I had to plan for all the Christmas parties and winter get-togethers characterized by chocolate teacakes and mistletoe? Oh, I would groan for certain. Even looking at this kitty makes my lips droop.
Do you ever fret things that are completely irrational?

is this because yesterday i said: hey, guess what, it's almost christmas!!
christmas was glossed over by wedding stuff last year... i'm excited to start celebrating early!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Now that I've gotten that out of my system I can say, "Find something else to stress about!" It is sad though that we turn Christmas into such a marathon of activity that we actually need six months to recover. Every year I say I will simplify my celebration of Jesus' birthday but somehow I never do it. I don't know how to downsize my frenzy.
yeah, i love Christmas, but i think the reason i love it is because it's still special, it's still one limited time of year when we think and act in a particular manner. to see Christmas decorations in Target before Halloween and on sale through January .... ugh. even Jesus only has one birthday a year.
I love Christmas, but I am so eager for warm weather that the idea of winter is NO FUN. Seattle likes to stay at about 55 degrees until the end of July, so, yeah, boo about that.
on the christian radio station the other day, i heard "tips for surviving the holidays." i think they got their "tips" segments mixed up. a few weeks ago, they played one about halloween.
