On Toward December


Well, the leftover turkey is frozen, the carcass boiled into broth and only cranberry sauce remains. The last of the fall decorations are taken down and (almost) put away, the tree is up, the wreath is hung and visions of Christmas cookies are dancing in my head.


I just finished all my Christmas shopping and am, believe it or not, making progress on the homemade gifts. Melissa is frantically crafting, the boys are both back at college and outside it's a winter wonderland.
Time for a deep breath as we delve into December and all this holiday month entails. I'm planning on enjoying every single minute of the hustle and bustle, the baking, the wrapping, the crafting.
And hold in my heart all those who are dear to me, near and far, past and present.
The greatest symbol of the season for me is hope and joy, peace and goodwill.
We plan to spread as much cheer and happiness as we possibly can.

Lucky you...the ability to get so much done before the beginning of Dec. I'll still me finishing Christmas in January. I love the season, so I'm like to drag it out.
