I don't know what's changed this year. Perhaps I am INSANELY busy with a university course, running my own Pampered Chef business, two dance classes, learning how to quilt, four kids and appliances dropping like flies around here....but I am NOT in the spirit this year. Normally the house is decorated by now, Christmas cards from years past are proudly displayed on our mantel, lights twinkle down the stairs and the house feels warm. Maybe it's our leaking windows but this year the house is cold. Maybe it's because I can't fill the house with the smell of home baking (because the stove died) but it stinks around here and it isn't the dog either!
Maybe it's because there isn't any snow, and while me and my all season tires are happy for that, I'm thinking that I **may** have biten off more than I can chew.
Tomorrow will change things for us. We start the day with breakfast with Santa at the kids school and then off to cut down our Christmas tree. Perhaps we'll make decorating the house a family affair after the tree and I can jump into the holiday spirit.
For now, my cold feet and stinky house say BAH HUMBUG!!
