Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, and Anthony and I hosted dinner at our apartment. Despite the cramped quarters and the shortage of plates and utensils (we had nine people over, but it seems like everything we own comes in a set of eight), there were few glitches. And now, Christmas is barreling towards us. I normally love the holiday season but this year, things seem rushed and muddled. I wish sometimes that there was a way to slow life down a bit so that the great moments are easier to enjoy (wow, what a cliche that was, almost worse than a catchphrase in a movie trailer--ha!).
There's so much to look forward to in the coming months but I still find it hard to ignore the not-so-good stuff. I'm hoping that some Christmas carols and marshmallowy hot cocoa will help alleviate some of my worries. Tonight, I will finish working on
this Christmas ornament project. Perhaps I will start writing out Christmas cards. Above all, I will try to be merry and slow down enough to appreciate the joyous season.
