Christmas Crunch
19 days until Christmas --- YIKES!!! How did it get here so fast? The elves at Santa's workshop are putting in overtime to get things made in time for Christmas. Thank goodness I have a designated sewing room now!
This holiday is different for me this year. I am just so grateful to be around this Christmas. In the spirit of appreciating the holiday, I am going to do my best not to get stressed about things that don't really matter --- I am going to focus instead on my fantastic family. All 3 of my daughters will be here with their significant others. I can't wait! We will have some wonderful meals, have game nights and go to the movies...More than anything, though, I just want to look at them and put my arms around them!
FYI - I won't be sending out my annual Christmas letter until AFTER Christmas this year since jb and Causten won't be here until the 24th and you know how I love to take pictures of the entire family together! Be on the lookout for a letter around New Year's...unless, of course, the world does end according to the Mayan calendar!
