Well it's three days before Christmas, and I can't honestly say that I am in the Christmas spirit yet. Don't know why. Normally by this time, It's 24/7 christmas music, Merry Christmases are flying around everywhere, Christmas gifts are wrapped and under the tree and I can hardly wait for Christmas. This year, I just finished my Christmas shopping today, None of my gifts are wrapped, I've said precisely one Merry Christmas to the guy at Starbucks (that was my first of the season today), and the Christmas music I can only take in somewhat small doses. I feel like maybe I should feel guilty about it, but I don't really.
I'm really enjoying christmas break though, I'm not a complete grinch. My family is going back up to breckenridge tomorrow for a fun filled day of sledding, and I just want to take this moment that I am thoroughly looking forward to get my mom and dad on Bob's snowskate. Maybe that will get in me in the Christmas spirit.
Lots of things are happening with my family now. Sigh. Lots of things are going wrong financially and maybe that also has something to do with my lack of christmas joy. My dog needs a surgery that's going to be expensive. My brother's car broke down on his way out here, my car ended up being a lot more expensive to fix than they originally said, my Grandparents always have their medical stuff going on and what not, and of course there is Christmas on top of it to pay for. I know that God will provide financially, but it's hard to not be at least a little bit down. Anyway, Christmas time is coming, and I should be more joyful. Maybe tomorrow....
