Tis the season for venturing out to the mailbox with hopes of getting a Christmas card that has been delivered the old fashioned way. With a stamp. Tis also the season for reading the annual Christmas letters and feeling like a total failure about our lives.
Ho Ho Ho.
Life is moving along at breathtaking speed. So many, many events are a part of this month...I am handling it by not looking ahead until the day is almost done. And even then, I only look ahead to that next coming day. This past weekend we attended a service of lessons and carols at our new church, a concert at our home church, 4.5 solo miles on my favorite trail, breakfast out (with champagne!) with that guy that I like so much, a basketball game, and a surprise party at our house involving a bunch of college students who came a'caroling and stayed for supper.
So many really great moments though, amidst the scheduling logistics. Watching that guy that I like so much tying a bow tie. A kitchen counter covered in homemade cookies...and coming home to a boy who ate a few. Eating a dutch baby for breakfast. Brand new bubbly stuff for the bath. Catching up on all the laundry. A clean house. Chocolate covered cherries from See's. A furnace that works. Not one, not two, but three (and one is a magnum) of champagne in the fridge.
Come over. I like an excuse to share.

We are still tree-less at our little house on our little street...and it's time to change that.
Tomorrow is the day!
