Holidays

So, here we are again. The holiday season is upon us. There's no denying it. All the stores are starting to load up on gift cards, decor, and there's a feel to the air that is undeniably "that time of year". Last year I dreaded this time. Wracking my brain to think of gifts, cooking cooking, cooking, how the days are so short and it's dark going to and coming from work.

This year, I'm already looking forward to it all. The wreaths appearing on doors. I get to pull out my bins and smile as I lovingly unwrap family treasures- tree decorations, carved Santas, lights that twinkle. And, let's not forget- the leg lamp. I have books I want to read, movies I must watch. Time I will take. During this season I am going to say yes. Yes, I want a tree. Yes, I will think about each gift, wrap them with love. Cook and disperse goodies. Feel the joy of the season. Yes, I will.
