Through the years, we all will be together

So that pressure at Christmas time I was going to write about? O.M.G. My head hurts because I am sleep deprived because I have been doing too many things because it's Christmas and as I type I'm thinking of all the things I still need to do before I go home on Friday and it makes my head hurt even more...

And....deep breath.

But, you probably should be glad I didn't write that post a couple weeks ago when I was planning to. At that point, I was in a little bit of a Scrooge mood. I was thinking about cheesy jewelry commercials that remind me I'm single, Norman Rockwell paintings that remind me my family is def. not perfect, and flying home during the busiest travel season of the year.

Now, though, at least 12 parties later, I'm not so Scrooge-ish. Mainly because I really love parties. And any season that lets me attend more than one on the same night, not to mention all the other nights of the week, is my kind of season.

Also, I got pretty awesome presents for everyone, and I love giving presents.

My family is still def not perfect, but they're my family, and we can probably get along for the six days that I'm home. Theoretically.

And, Kentucky's supposed to have a white Christmas. Sing to me, Bing!

And, I really love Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks.

So, yes. Christmas is a high pressure season - and for so many people (often myself included), it can be extremely lonely. But, if you really look around, there are so many wonderful things about Christmas, that I find I can't help but still get caught up in the "magic" of the season, even after being disillusioned so many times before.

I hope that whatever your circumstances are, you too find yourselves experiencing some of the blessings of this time, and thanking God for the good things that are coming your way at Christmas, and have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
