I know, technically it started Friday. Don't take my lack of posting about my excitement as a dimmed enthusiasm this year for this Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Trust me, I was super-excited. I got giddy hearing the Christmas tunes this weekend while we were out and about. I was ecstatic when Tim consented to listening to Christmas music for "just a half an hour"...which turned into a good chunk of the 9 hour car ride home...and I have had Christmas songs cycling through my head like crazy -- especially one of the songs my kiddos are singing for our Christmas program this year. It's called "Let's Take a Peek in the Manger" and it's super adorable.
And this morning I got pumped up for the day by listening to Josh Groban's Noel on the way to school. It's only one of the best Christmas CDs ever. And I listened to another Christmas CD on the way home from school, too. Um, I can't even think of when the last time I was glad to have this commute, but Christmas music sure did the trick today.
See? Amazing. You're welcome.
I feel a rush of excitement and joy...and I really feel like there is a lot to squeeze into this month to make the most of this short window of Christmas amazingness. I love getting to see the kids get excited to share the Christmas story in our program. This year we have an Advent calendar in our classroom that we are doing everyday, and the kids are so excited and so am I!! I'm itching to get our tree and put up our decorations. I need to figure out what kind of new creation I want to try making this year to go with my annual sugar cookies and fudge. I want to bask in the glow of Christmas lights and see our 5 stockings hanging up. I can't wait to snuggle on the couch in my jammies with peppermint hot chocolate in my Santa mug with some Rudolph and Elf and all of those wonderful Christmas classics.
Did I mention how much I love the Christmas season?!?!?
