It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

I love this time of year! Christmas is..hold on let me check my iphone ap...9 days, 13 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds away! Woohoo! I love spending time with family, eating good food, and opening presents of course! However..the flip side is it is such a stressful time. Brandon is stressed to the max wrapping up end of year stuff at work, I am worrying about what few gifts I still need to purchase and which ones still need to be wrapped. Or the gift that came broken and no one will answer the phone to help me correct the problem...sigh. The weather is nice to look at but annoying to get out in but in the end it is all worth it. I am so blessed that I have a healthy baby girl, that Brandon is amazing and he has a great job, and we have money to buy gifts. I think we get wrapped (I feel like I saying this word a lot..sorry) up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays that we forget what it is all about. It's about celebrating the birth of our loving and forgiving God, about being with friends and family. I ask God to help me remember what it is all about and help me to stay focused on what is important and to concentrate on my blessings and not the little annoyances. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
