November 20--Bah Humbug--To Be or Not To Be

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.  --Paulo Coelho

    Well, we hope so anyway. 
    Christmas used to be my favorite holiday. No longer spending it with my kids, it is now my least favorite, and I wish we could simply eliminate December. The past three years I had a December trip to Jamaica to placate me, but I'm not going there this year. There is enormous Grinch potential here. Knowing this would be the case, last year after Christmas I put this note in my calendar for this November: "Make treats for neighbors instead of being Christmas-grumpy." There is a part of me that just wants to be Christmas-grumpy, so we will see if grumpy or neighborly wins out. Stay tuned. 
    Yesterday I did my morning lap-swim then ran some errands and did some exploring relative to the possible anti-grumpy project. One of the postage stamp choices available now is the snow-globe stamp shown below. I'm TRYING to be Christmas-y!
