The holidays are upon us....again

As much as I would love for the holidays to be about family and love and peace, it seems I am so busy running around and am so hectic I am finding it hard to find time to enjoy the season! I just this week finished decorating the house and have not really even begun to shop. The children will be at their father's house for Christmas, so I don't technically have to shop until after Christmas because we are not having our "Christmas" until Jan 1st, but I still feel like a slacker..lol I didn't get around to mailing any holiday cards either. Oh well. I am off for the next two weeks as the schools are out and I cannot sub, so maybe I will now be able to enjoy the holiday season!!!
