Christmas Panic

On Monday someone reminded me that Christmas is next week, and I think I might have sunk to my knees and let out a primal wail.

I love Christmas. After Halloween, it’s my favorite holiday. But I’m always caught off-guard, I’m never able to quite get the decorations up, gifts are last minute (sorry to friends and family who are reading this), and then it just seems to happen so darn fast. There’s not even time to take in the music.

Oh, well. As I learned watching Christmas movies all throughout...
