Christmas past.

  This year I wasn't really into the "Christmas Spirit". I should have been, I love the holiday and Christmas is the best! The music plays throughout the house, we decorate every room, there's always baking cookies, wrapping presents, the excitement of the kids is contiguous! But this year I'm Scrooge, Not in an overly negative Bah-hum bug way, I just didn't have the energy or excitement.
   Life has been challenging this year to say the least, and maybe that's part of my funk, as the year slowly wraps up I'm thinking over all that has happened and I'm tired! Emotionally, physically and a quick glance at the calendar and oh yeah I can see why.....We are busy people!
 I didn't set out to make this post all dreary, but more contemplative.  Here are a few highlights of our Month of Christmas!
