I was in the elevator here at work yesterday with several women who spent the whole ride up to the 8th floor (stopping on every floor on the way) complaining and moaning about all they had to do lately. Comments like "I've finished shopping...now I have to wrap. I hate wrapping" and "I spent the whole weekend decorating and now I'm exhausted and we haven't even finished the tree yet" and "I'm not ever putting up lights on my house again...it just put me in a bad mood".

I just kinda 'sat' back and smiled as I am really loving this season. 'Course you wouldn't know it by the way I've (not) decorated my house or shopped til I drop.

Basically, I've become an observer of all the December holidays and that's given me a good vantage point to really enjoy all of it!
