I'm not ready for them yet. I know, there are only 18 days between now and Christmas Eve. I know that halls are being decked, sweet treats are being baked, and stockings are being hung...and yet, the Christmas Spirit is eluding me.

ReplyDeleteI am trying to connect with Christmas this year by knitting, baking, and watching holiday flicks. I told the kids not to expect a lot giftwise, too.
Nat King Cole singing 'O Holy Night' usually does it for me. Or listening to The Nutcracker Suite. Or putting the old Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton Christmas in the CD player.
