how'd that happen?

How can it be December already??  Where does the time go??

Instead of looking at what I have left to do I should be proud of all that I've accomplished in preparation for this holiday season.

• Christmas cards are in the mail
• majority of presents are bought
• two homemade gifts are finished
• the pantry is stocked for baking
• three homemade meals are in the freezer
• space has been made for the Christmas tree

hmmm... I'm not sure that makes me feel better.  True to my nature I can't help but think of all that's left to do; the shopping, the wrapping, the crafting, the baking, the cooking, the decorating, the visiting and the partying...  I'm excited but can't help but feel a bit anxious too.
