I'm not gonna lie, I feel like a Grinch this Christmas. I am totally having a pity party, so if you decide not to read this post, I understand.
It has not felt like Christmas at all to me this year. I have been working so much I have not had time or energy for anything Christmas. I haven't been involved in ANY music this season and that is really what makes it feel like Christmas to me. I love singing the Messiah, going to Holiday Dinner, conducting the ward Christmas program, preparing a piece to sing for a recital that is Christmas related. It makes me so sad that I have not sung really at all this season.
All my kids, and husband, have talked about have been gifts. What we are going to give and what they want to get. To be honest, I don't even really want anything. I take that back, what I want this year is to be able to rest and relax, be with my family, make Christmas goodies for our friends, go caroling and revel in the goodness of my Savior. I feel like our Christmas has become too commercial. It has not been Christ-centered. Maybe that is my fault. I just want to feel the joy of the season. I hope that happens when I go down to San Diego to spend Christmas with my family.
Okay, I'm done now.

I understand! It's ok to be grinchy. Just don't forget the "revel in the goodness of my Savior." You won't, I know you won't. Love you, and thinking of you.
I totally get what you're saying. You also forgot to mention the pregnancy on top of things, which always makes you more tired and less industrious! I hope being with family will help. It's been hard this year for me too.
I got the tree up and decorated... tada! I feel you girl. Can't wait for you to come down.
I understand...it seems like every year it is harder to be reminded of what Christmas is really about. Everything is presents, santa, food, and anything but Christ. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!
