Christmas

I have been finding it hard to get into the Christmas spirit. I don't know why. It's not like the weather last year where it was sunny and green everywhere.

We most definitely will be having a WHITE Christmas this year!

I'm not the type of person that buys presents in October, nor do I buy them Christmas Eve, but this year I just can't get myself in the mood to go out and shop. I keep thinking there's lots of time, when in fact - a week today is Christmas Day!! Plus, I'll have to wrap everything in time also.

It just doesn't feel like it's the right time to be doing all this. Maybe I'm just focusing on all the snow and everything that has been going on the last few weeks. I think I'm just distracted from what I need to get done.

Hopefully (and I know that Steph is thinking this too) I'll head out the next few days and finish everything off in one big swoop so that I'm not stuck in a store with lots of people and line-ups and full parking lots with aggressive drivers. And then I'll lock myself away for a few hours to make those presents pretty and inconclusive to the recipient.

I will be spending lots of time with family and hope you will too. Happy Holidays!

Journal

I've been debating the fact about whether or not to keep a journal. I'm not sure what it is I would write in it, but I suppose it would contain how I'm feeling at the time. I'm unsure of whether or not this would be helpful as I'm dealing with several mixed emotions. I'm afraid that when I write something down and I look back on it - will it make me more sad? more mad? more confused?

Do you think it would be a good idea??
