Well, that's how I am feeling this Christmas so far. It's been too busy a month to get anything done I wanted to before Christmas so I could spend time concentrating on the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas is coming on too fast for my liking...the lights just got up, and now it seems they will be coming back down again, and the Christmas music turned back off way before I got a chance to even get sick of it. And it's too bad that I am not yet getting to feel the Christmas spirit. I feel a little scroogish...something I have NEVER felt at Christmas time EVER. I use to get mad at my dad for being a scrooge. My brothers (some of them) have expressed the same feelings this Christmas. Maybe it's the absence of the real scrooge in our life. My parents use to dress up as Santa and Mrs. Clause, and we'd go caroling around, and people would hire us to come be at there Christmas parties. My dad made an EXCELLENT Santa. So I am attaching a picture so you can all see what Christmas past was like.
I hope that others are being able to enjoy the Christmas season. I have decided that next year is going to be different. I'm starting my Chritmas early...I realize that most get annoyed when Christmas starts right after Halloween, but I have decided that it will be the only way for me to enjoy it and have time to tire of it, so that I don't feel that I missed it. I think that will feel better than it feels this year. Too busy...too fast...too bad...isn't the best Holiday feeling...
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And thank goodness for our Savior and the Atonement, who knows where I would be without it!

Shanda, this is erin. Cute blog! I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. I've never felt this way before either. I like your idea of being excited when Christmas starts right after Halloween. I am also going to try that theory and see if it works out better for me. One thing is for sure, I have made a news years resolution to budget more money each month for christmas time.
Christmas does seem to come and go way too fast, but if you think about why we celebrate Christmas, then really we can be celebrating all year long. Just without the lights and hooplah! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
