Thinking about Christmas

Inspired by this:

And a random December Issue of Body and Soul that I checked out from the library has got me thinking about Christmas in April.

So many times we rush through December and have crazy expectations of presents, cookies, projects, yada yada. We play the songs. We put away the CDs on the 26th and then don't revisit them until next year.

So...what if?
What if we did the Holiday more year round? Or is there something magical about looking forward to that stuff?

Just thinking...that's all. Wondering what to do to bring a little Christmas into my year. Anybody want to join me for some caroling? ;)

Our Soccer Guy

On Saturday Aidan went to his first "soccer practice' and loved it! They play "games" with the ball not a traditional game but they are learning skill work by playing "Mr. Fox, hamper, and red light green light". Good stuff. He had fun...we actually froze (need to bring Starbucks next time!) More than anything it was such a blessing to see him have fun playing.
