Here We Go!

A couple of Sundays back, we got in a quick trip to Disneyland.  The forecast predicted rain, and sure enough, we were soaked through by the end of the day, despite two umbrellas and parkas for all.  Still, it was fun, and a good way to kick off the holiday season.  Are you ready for the season? Because it's like, totally here. 

Here we go, now entering the holiday rush...

There are trees to be bought and decorated (or if you go artificial, trees to be brought down).  I'm still winning the campaign for a live tree in my house; a tradition from my childhood that I'm not ready to relinquish. 

 Just thinking about all the decorating and lights and bustle and baking and late-night wrapping sessions makes me tired to think about...

 But it's worth it for the wonder and the joy I get, seeing it through the eyes of my still-awestruck children.

Funny, I felt more in the spirit of the season a couple of weeks ago, pre-Thanksgiving.  But I better get on board quick, because ready of not, it  always rushes by in a blur, this most wonderful, hectic time of the year
