Here I am. 1:34 in the wee hours of the morning and I decided to do a quick blog. I don't know why, but this Christmas I was a little bit of a Scrooge when it came to holiday spirit. I think for once, I really did get too caught up in the holiday hustle & bustle -- I had so much to do with buying presents for everyone and making sure they'd love them, and then trying to keep on top of two busy work schedules...laundry and exercise got left on the back-burner...and pretty sure I now have a slight twitch in my left eye from all the stress I've been causing myself. As Will Ferrell would put it, I became an angry elf. I'm a little sad that I got so tied up in everything material that I didn't stop to enjoy the real celebration of Christ's birth. I mean, yeah I sang the hymns and listened to many nativity stories, but I quickly would revert back to thinking about my to-do list.
But now Christmas has come and gone, dang it!! It goes too quick I tell ya.
Note to self: Next year, finish shopping in November so I can avoid the stress in December. Either that, or Amazon.com it up baby!!
Thinking back on 2013, I'm flooded with so many wonderful memories. I quickly realize how blessed my life is and how grateful I am for all I've been able to experience. Here's to looking forward to new adventures and more memorable moments for 2014!!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
