Santa? Santa? Where are you?

Well, we all survived the last week of school. I was beginning to wonder. There were plenty of festivities and the kids were really sweet. Lots of hugs and thank yous and one little girl even brought me a gift!

Now, how in the world I am supposed to shop, wrap, cook, clean, do laundry, etc. in 2 days?

Seems I am not alone. Everyone I have talked to this year is somewhat flustered at exactly how Christmas is going to happen this year. There are those with financial struggles, it seems more this year than in years past. Teachers didn't get paid until yesterday, I found out. I'm sure making it difficult to get finished with shopping before their own children are out of school. There's quite the time crunch this year as well. With school letting out only a couple days before the big day, there's no time to do the "last minute stuff".

I personally have had my Canon photo printer hummin' along since yesterday at about 2 P.M. I am afraid it's about to scream. Let's not talk about the ink cartridges I've gone through.

I am trying to focus on what this season is about. Not what everyone wants.

That is not easy.

So, I hope that you all have a moment to enjoy these last few days of the Holiday season and what they really mean to you. I think I'll go see if I can find Santa.
