Christmas Countdown

I feel like it's under control finally. For the past couple of weeks I've been overwhelmed with all that needs to be done for Christmas and I've slowly been checking things off the list. Teacher's Gifts, Fix Light in Kitchen, Annual Family Newsletter with Christmas Cards, Shopping for Gifts, Those Family Calendars, Put Up Christmas Decorations, well, you know the drill. But, I can finally see the list is dwindling and it's time to enjoy this beautiful time of year.


This year the kids are old enough to help with the tree trimming... the only problem is that they finish in about 5 minutes flat. I prefer to take more time, enjoying the Christmas music in the background and generally spending time together as a family. Now that the house is festive, Sanjay is growing more and more impatient waiting for Santa Claus. He's been asking, "Mom, when is Santa gonna be here?". At least we've got him focused on Christmas now instead of his birthday, but it's still more than two weeks away... an eternity for this soon-to-be 3 year old.
