"For many of us, sadly, the spirit of Christmas is 'hurry'. And yet, eventually, the hour comes when the rushing ends and the race against the calendar mercifully comes to a close. It is only now perhaps that we truly recognize the spirit of Christmas. It is not a matter of days or weeks, but of centuries-nearly twenty of them now since that holy night in Bethlehem. Regarded in this manner, the pre-Christmas rush may do us greater service than we realize. With all its temporal confusion, it may just help us to see that by contrast, Christmas itself is eternal."

I like that quote. It helps you see some good and put a positive take on what is going to inevitably happen. To me that's so much better than just being negative about something. Thanks for posting. And I'm glad you're writing again. I check here every morning.

I agree. I was just telling Brett today how sad it is that so many people seem angry around the holidays.
Glad you read our blog. It's my way of sharing our lives and I always hope someone is reading it.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Christmas.
