Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE holiday.  I get so excited about all of it.  I love decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, looking at Christmas lights, Nativity scenes, putting out milk and cookies for Santa.....ALL OF IT!!  But, for some reason I am feeling kind of blah.  We have the house all decorated, I have most of the shopping done, and the kids are really excited.  Maybe it's because I will not get to see any of my family.  Maybe it's because we have had a rough 2008.  Maybe I have just been too busy to enjoy the season.  I have no idea why I have the blahs, but I do hope that it will pass soon.
