I can't believe how much there is to do every day at Christmastime. Most of it is fun, although, I'd love to hire someone to visit the post office to mail cards and packages for me. I can't complain as the UPS store hooked me up this year and even had toys for my kids to play with. I know.

I love having our tree lights on all day while we're at home. And I love having our street light up with colors every night. We like to stare at them out our living room window. But we have yet to take a drive around the neighborhood like we usually do. Oh well, if we get to it, good. If not, we're having a peaceful time at home, surrounded by the Christmas spirit. I love the season! It is so special and I love how everyone chooses for themselves how to celebrate. Makes your family time even more special.
