Holiday Spirit

The lights twinkle as the rain falls.
I find it hard to be in the Christmas Spirit when there isn't any snow.  We've not had much snow, no more than a dusting a couple of times, but we've had a LOT of rain.  However, I don't think that's the only reason I have trouble with this Christmas Spirit.  Shopping, creating, baking, Christmas carding, planning, and packing...it's exhausting.  And I don't even go all out.  I try to keep it "low key", "low stress", focus on family and love ~ remember the reason for the season...
And then you watch the ads and walk into Walmart and you're surrounded by the FRENZY.  Finding the peace and the calm, the 'Silent Night', as it were, isn't as easy as it sounds.  We can't fill that void with STUFF ~
Kinda like daily life.  We can choose the watch the twinkling lights or be washed away by the falling rain.
