A Wonderful Cold Night

I have had a difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. I assume it has been because I have been very busy and distracted. I realized during this morning's church service that it was six days until the Day. I think it caught me by such surprise I actually jolted in my seat.

This afternoon, I worked on cards and, with it being very cold out, got some firewood and now have a roaring fire. Writing the notes in the cards and reflecting on our year, I now really am in the holiday mood. I almost wish there were carolers so I could join them this evening. That would be the cap to a wonderful day and evening.
