One month to Christmas.
Maybe you didn't hear me correctly. Let me repeat that....its ONE MONTH TO CHRISTMAS!
People, I am freaking out.
Where did November go?
And why am I only realizing this now? I should have been panicking weeks ago, not saving it up for the last minute.
I know there are many of you who don't even begin to think about the Holidays till well after American Thanksgiving. I've even been told some wait for December to begin.
Personally, I've always been more of a "Oh-it's-September-the-leaves-are-falling-OMG!!!-Christmas-is-practically-here!" kind of hysteric.
What can i say? ...it's served me well over the years.
You see, I love Christmas and all it entails - I love the music, the decor, the tree, the hustle and bustle of those city sidewalks...I love everything about it with such a passion that my panic in its being only a month away is more about the running out of "Christmas magic time" than any fear of not finding a gift for all the names on my list.
I want my Christmas to stretch out before me in a heart warming lineup of parties, cookie baking, wine by the fire and assorted Holiday flavored activities.
I don't want one day.
I want my Christmas to last all month long, and with only a few weeks to go, I'm down to the wire of getting the aforementioned activities started.
There lies my panic.
I am way behind.
I know how quickly these next few weeks will pass and I don't want to have it all end with just one day - I want to savor it each and every day - and so should you.
Its the small gestures and quiet moments that make Christmas special for me.

You have managed to sum up exactly how I feel every year when I have never been able to! That is precisely why I panic every year. I too love christmas so much and one day is not enough so I like to have done all the boring stuff before dec 1st so I can concentrate on the good stuff!
ReplyDeleteAlso like you I am way behind this year!! November was cut a week or two short I think!
