I keep saying "Merry Christmas!" in hopes that it will eventually feel that way. There are only a few hours left in the day. Somehow it seems like the whole season should be weeks away instead of ending. I am finding it increasingly diffcult to understand, apply, and interact with 'Christmas' in the midst of my culture, limitations, desires, and questions. There's so much and so little and again I'm left wondering.

I am so so tired. We're heading the the Valley next week for some days away while the ranch fills with crowds. It'll be great to see all the guests but it's also our only opportunity to step away and catch a breath. Even today, the biggest 'holiday' for working folk, was filled with chores and wood boxes and cleaning. We love it and would not trade it, but I am feeling a need for one complete day without cooking, cleaning, cold, or early rising.

Hm. My posts have being more blue than sunny of late hey? Sorry!

Tonight we will have a greasy appy' snack with a movie, drink the last of yesterday's wine, and (try to) convince the kiddo to go to bed early and sleep late.

To you my friends: Sweet Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you! Augusta looks like it came out of a christmas design catalog!! Amazing!!
I felt that way this Christmas too...most people did. Everyone is blaming it on the late weather and recession. It was different and less filled with the magic but I liked it in a different way I guess... the hype was gone and in it's place I felt a little lost but it helped me re-evalute and I think next year will be...less demanding?
Maybe it is because we are both exhausted. That makes a huge mark on anything.
In a way it is nice to know that a good friend in completely different circumstances understands. This is a sweet christmas... I have friends like you to share in the season. All my love...
