Christmas Time Is Here. Already?! What the?!?

Christmas has totally snuck up on me this year!  I guess between lots going on at work, painting the kitchen, being sick for a couple weeks, preparing Sunday School lessons, and normal every-day stuff, time has slipped away.  When I stop to think about it, I get depressed that I haven't even set up my Nativity scene.  Our tree is not up and lit and decorated with our ornaments.  There is no garland or mistletoe hanging.  No red bows.  Nothing.  Zip.  Nada.

I thought Dave was slightly crazy when he came home with a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree that he put on top of our TV.

Complete with the red ball and Linus' blankie!
At first, I was thinking, "That makes everything seem more pathetic!  Why do we seem so grinchy about Christmas decorations this year?!?!!?"  The more I looked at that little tree, the more I loved it!  We can only do as much as we can do.  This year, as much as we could do was this cute little tree with only 1 decoration on it that's even too heavy for it.  But, it's Christmas to the Dave Wheeler Family this year.  :o)  I love it!!!

Plus, since Dave and I are travelling to my parent's new home in Illinois this year (yay!), we will get to enjoy THEIR Christmas decorations.  :o)

Merry Christmas everyone!!!
