Ba Humbug
I am having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, which is not normal for me. Normally, I'm ready to put the tree up about July. Maybe it's because we are already very busy and the though of batteling Eden away from the Christmas tree for a month is not very inviting. How do you balance being available to God and to others while not sucking the life right out of your life? This is not how I want my baby to grow up, constantly running here and there. I want her to have time to be a kid, to play, to make messes, and to enjoy her childhood. I hope that I can get this figured out before she gets old enough to notice...

What a relief that there is someone else out there that isn't particularly looking forward to Christmas. I have been feeling guilty and hiding my shame because I just can't get into the "spirit". I know that I am just hurting myself, knowing that the longer it takes me to get out of my funk the closer Christmas gets and then I am stuck without anything done. Help, Jenna. What can we do? Do you think that they make Christmas tree fences??
Finding the balance in life is definitely hard well maybe impossible in my life. If you find the answer then please share the wisdom. I find that there is nothing I can eliminate out of my life to make it less crazy..but I guess crazy is one way to describe me. I know I can be busy doing other things which are less profitable, but I want to be serving the Lord and I pray for all of us that no matter what we are doing.. our heart is to glorify Him. Let's remember the reason for the season and find our joy in the Lord. This is my prayer for all of us.
