I said on facebook that "even though I hate saying this, I just want Christmas to be over". Not fully true. I don't want it to be OVER, because it is such a full and joyous time of family and celebration. But, I want it to be NOW.
Then I wouldn't have to worry about all the presents I DON'T HAVE for people and how much I still have to do. It would all be figured out and done, however it is. I could just sit back and enjoy the day, enjoy my kids opening presents and being excited. Enjoy rare time with all the family together. Enjoy delicious food and treats I only get at Christmas. Enjoy the tree and lights and decorations. Enjoy the knowledge that fills my spirit with wondrous joy that God wrapped Himself in human flesh and dwelt among us. Enjoy NOT worrying about bills and errands and everything else life seems to have filled itself with, and just be still and restful. Enjoy the moments of activity, because they are also moments of team work with people I dearly love.
That's what I want to move into. Less of the preparations and more of the enjoyment. I am ready. I need it.
I also can't wait to be able to share what I've been scheming and working on. It's all turning out so well. If only adult men where as easy to make things for as women and children!
To end on a happy note, here's a picture of Liam being silly:

Ah honey. I love you. I really do.
Only a week and a few days left. Until I get to sit on the leather sofa at your parents house next to you and enjoy the best present of all. You. The sweetest sissy in law a gal could ask for.
Those look like the Christmas jammies....cute.
Hang in there girl. Only a little bit yet till you can relax and enjoy.
