I feel behind on my Christmas shopping, but am working to get over that. By shopping, obviously, but also on not feeling behind. I think the feeling stems from my housemate having all of her Christmas shopping done. But as Jeremy reminded me...there is no behind or ahead, simply a deadline. My deadline happens to be a little early than some (we're celebrating with our Wilmington family on Dec. 19 and leaving to be with our biological families on Dec. 20) but doable. At least, that's what I tell myself! I enjoy the change of pace during the holidays -- regular activities are replaced by shopping, wrapping, writing Christmas cards, partying, caroling, decorating, and sometimes cooking or baking. Problem is, some of those regular day-to-day activities can't be ignored forever. Finding balance, that's the key. Finding time to enjoy those unique holiday activities while still making sure day-to-day life doesn't get ignored. And all this while remembering to relax and avoid the frenectic pace that can accompany December. Okay, just rambling now.
in other news, we went to see Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last night. In my opinion...fabulous! Of course, I love the books, so I'm a little biased, but I still think it's a good movie. Courage, adventure, sacrifice, second chances...great stuff.
