The countdown is on. Christmas will be here before we know it! AHHH! Who had all their shopping done? Nope, not me. And we have a couple birthdays on either side of Christmas too. WHEW…the pressure.
In reality, I’m not super stressed at all. It all seems to work itself out. I do enjoy gift giving…just more the spontaneous gift giving than the obligatory.

It will be super fun to look back on in the coming years. I still pull out the book I made from my calendar project of 2014.
The cold weather has me sipping on tea everyday…both to keep the chill off and to sooth my sore throat.
