I'm having trouble getting into a Christmas mood.
Maybe it's the full moon we are having now.
Maybe it's that I'm tired and haven't had the time or money to go shopping for gifts.
Maybe I've been stressed and depressed with daily life.
Maybe it's that it is just now getting cool enough outside to feel like winter time.
Maybe I need to just bake all day and sing songs of the season.
Maybe I need to go to the mall and sit on Santa's lap.
Maybe I need to stand in the mall and get trampled by the hundreds of shoppers.
Or maybe I just need to sit and hear the spirit of the season speak to me. The true reason for the season. Just sit still and know that HE is here. To know that it's not the gifts or the tree or the rush or the stores.
I need to turn off the depressing news stations and instead get my good book and read the word of God. Yes, I think that is what I will do.

((( hugs ))) Yes, turn on some beautiful Christmas music, close your eyes and soak in the words of the songs. We've told our kids more than once that this is going to be a small Christmas and I think it's helping us focus more on the real reason for the season.
By the way, if you decide to go sit on Santa's lap, you must bring me with you -- so I can hide my camera in my purse and get a picture! LOL
I LOVE YOU!
You got it. this year we have really changed our attitude, we got the boys & wives food storage items and kept everyone elses gifts at $10 or under. Gifts are not the reason for Christmas CHRIST is!
Christmas is in your heart and soul.
