« Christmas Countdown with Style »

I am thankful for this season . . . Thanksgiving is over {already} and I blinked and I swear I didn't even get to more than one slice of my delicious turkey . . .

It is way too busy this coming month and I have many sleepless nights coming up {more than normal} . . . the days breeze by me and I can't believe how fast December just seems to float by. Nonetheless, I am thankful.

I count my blessings . . . every day . . . every hour . . . every minute . . .

Right now I could really do without some much fuss and frenzy . . . the holidays bring about the silly season . . . cookie exchanges . . . gift exchanges . . . holiday parties . . . family gatherings . . . food . . . baking . . . advent . . . santa . . . etc

Time passes me by too fast the last month of the year. This time of the year I forget to see what is passing my by. These days, these fleeting days, these full days, hold so much for me that I need to stop and remember to look.

Today I need to remember to grab the little snippets of time that I can and enjoy what I see.

This is what I see today . . .

It's such a lovely time of year, huh!?

[Kim Cunningham]

Yes! I need the reminders to slow down too. So much to do, and so easy to burn out. I'm trying to say no to too many things. Just sitting in front of my tree with a fire going is perfect Christmas activity for me.

Such an exciting time! We have Chanukah in just over a week, so the kids at school are buzzing with excitement!

Ready or not, here comes Christmas. I hear you on Thanksgiing...I had very little leftovers once the family loaded up and too what they wanted!

If I had a joy journal like yours....I'd be writing in it every day for sure!!! Did you create it yourself?

Beautiful photos! It's true, the holidays go by in such a blur!

These are beautiful snippets! I need to slow down too. In the frenzy it's easy to lose sight of what's most important.

I love all the reds in the photos... so festive! Your Dec journal looks really great. Much as I would love to, I'm just not disciplined enough to journal... :)

Beautiful photos!

Oh I have the same issues with time passing in a blink. I can't believe that we're already into December. Isn't it still September? Maybe October? I love that you're focusing on the good stuff - keep it there. And remind me to do the same!
