Holiday Spirit

Tomorrow begins December which starts the countdown to the holidays, beginning with Hannukah. December also signifies the ending of another year. Man, time has been flying by pretty fast. One difference that I've noticed about myself this year is that surprisingly, I'm in the holiday spirit early. Usually, I find it to be stressful so soon after Thanksgiving but I'm actually looking forward to the festivities. To such an extent that I may even start my holiday shopping early...like this weekend. Now, for me, that's a stretch because I HATE to get caught up in the Xmas shopping crowd. I usually wait until a few days before Christmas, list in hand and tackle it in one or two days. However, this year I'm taking a considerable amount of time off so I can start on it now and leisurely get it done fairly soon. Unfortunately, I can't afford to spend a lot on gifts this year but I try to get at least one gift for each person in my immediate family. And, I'm thinking about doing some serious baking for my family and close friends, something I haven't done in a minute. Hell, I may even put up a Christmas tree! Yeah, the holiday spirit has definitely gotten hold of me!

Christmas is definitely on it's way!
