We're in the thick of it now. It's like a tidal wave that will carry you away if you're not careful, and you'll end up on that desert island, but you will get beat up getting there. Of course I'm talking about Christmas season. Are you under the tidal wave or riding the wave?
My husband is a church music director so the pressure of December has a whole different meaning. There is no such thing as Christmas vacation. He's busy preparing for 6 masses for Christmas (including 2 that occur at the same time!) He has five choirs and two cantors. There's a concert on Sunday and he's been working like a dog on it. He just finished producing a CD featuring the two cantors and it goes on sale this weekend. In addition to the concert on Sunday (in which both my daughter and I are singing), my son is in a holiday concert on Saturday completely unrelated to church. Yep, it's a little hectic.
I am having fun, though. My kids are enjoying the Advent calendar and are looking forward to adding a person to our nativity every night. Santa is still a big deal, but they recognize that mom and dad also give them gifts (so they have two lists for Christmas). I'm going to write a Christmas letter for the first time in years and I should be mailing my Christmas cards before December 23. I actually get to eat Christmas dinner! Oh, and Jesus is coming too. It's going to be a blessed Christmas!
I may not be riding on top of that tidal wave, but I think I'm body surfing without getting tossed on the beach. Ho, ho, ho!
