Christmas

Christmas...

Oh no!!!  I'm not ready for Christmas...

   presents to buy (with what money!?!)

   presents to wrap (wrap, does it have to wrapped neatly?
                     can't I just put it in a brown paper
                     bag?)

   cards to address  (now, where did I put that address
                      book anyways?)

   cards to write out (write them out? now I have to come
                       up with totally original sayings
                       for each relative...who's idea were
                       these montrosities anyways?)

   cards to send  (did I buy stamps the last time I went
                   to the post office?)

Where do I find the time?  There's not enough...

but, somewhere in all of this madness and inferno I sometimes just have to stop and think....to make myself remember why we celebrate this holiday anyways.

Christmas is the time of our Saviors birth, yet so many times in our lives we get caught up in all of the things we have to do before the season is over.
