Yesterday, I caught the Christmas bug. That seasonal disease that has you playing Christmas music, planning holiday feasts, and deciding which Christmas film you want to watch first. Last year we started playing Christmas music in October! We decided not to repeat that this year since by the time Christmas actually arrived we were ready (well, I was ready!) for some different music selections. Last week, as Lydia and I were doing a major clean of the downstairs, I joked that we should put up the Christmas tree as we moved furniture around so I could vacuum underneath. We laughed at the idea, but as we moved the furniture back into place I had already rearranged everything in my mind to accommodate our tree.
This years’ tree trimming will be especially fun since Aunt Cindy will be here to help with all the festivities. If forced to choose, I would have to say Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday, but by the time my birthday rolls around on the 2nd, I want the pilgrims packed away and the Christmas tree all glittering and shining. According to the calendar, Christmas marks the end of a passing year, but I feel that Christmas is the start of a new year; we are celebrating the birth of our savior, our salvations, the beginning of life. I know Thanksgiving is still over three weeks away, but I cannot resist, Happy Holidays!
