8 days to go.. ready?! How's the shopping and gift wrapping going? Tree up? Lights up? It's all quite a drill to get ready, huh? Not too sure where all the time has gone. I practically live at my job and look forward to crawling in bed... doesn't leave much room for holiday spirit!
Christmas has forever been my favorite holiday out of the whole year. I love the decorations and the smell of the tree. Wrapping presents is something I look forward to- and have to say, I'm not bad at it! Christmas Eve is my favorite though... Mom and I go to mass and then we have friends over for cracked crab! Its messy and loud and always tons of fun.
This year though, I have to say, my excitement for my favorite holiday is lacking at best. I've only wrapped a few presents. I decorated one little corner of the house. Watching my customers bicker and bargain with my sales associates has put a bit of a damper on the holiday I have to say.
Perhaps, it's time to remember what this holiday is really about. Not how many gifts are under your tree or how much money you spent. This holiday, just like every other one, are meant to bring loved ones together. As Santa Claus said in, The Polar Express, "Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart."
-more to come... hopefully more holiday spirit too!
