This morning, at 10:51 am I had that all-of-a-sudden burst of warmth in my being that can only be described as the Christmas Spirit. The urge to wrap, bake, and be merry enveloped me in a big swoosh of loving my fellow man goodness.
The only problem is that I try to hold this feeling off until after Thanksgiving, December 1st, even. I always feel like I get the most out of fall if I don't rush into the Christmas season too early. I usually feel it creeping up on me and I can push it back down, but today, it zeroed in and whammied me.
Now, how do I solve this problem? I either fully embrace my candy cane mood, (But I fear peaking too early. Nothing worse than an anti-climactic Christmas because it should have taken place on the 14th instead of the 25th.) Or I try to hold it back, only to not get it again.
I'm opting for the full embrace.
Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!! Blessings to you and your families.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Amy! After today you can fully embrace your Christmas spirit! I love this time of year too - my girls have been urging me to get out the christmas decorations and put up the tree....maybe this weekend?!

too early? Never. Glad you decided to embrace it.
Amy,
This post made me smile. Today is my "day of transition" to the much-anticipated Christmas season!
Go for the full on embrace!
