Aniticipation

For some odd reason, I have been completely excited about Chistmas today. I know, it's a bit early, but after catching the second half of "Elf" last night, I have been thinking about things like cookie-baking, our annual Christmas Eve party at my parents' and fun traditions like the Christmas in the South craft fair we attend each year (it's only 6 weeks away!) and the big lights show my family sees. It is my favorite time of year and I am just so excited. It's not too far away really. Actually, there are a number of things that have me dreaming of Christmas a bit early this year: a great recipe for sausage balls I saw on the Food Network the other day that would be just perfect for the Christmas Eve party, the release of the dates for the craft fair, making plans with James's family for us to come up the 26th. See? I'm not completely nuts. :-)

And what got me the most excited? James's comment about how much more pregnant I'll look by Christmas. :-)

it's not crazy really, it's about 3 months and 5 days away. :) you have much to anticipate, it's understandable. advents which precedes Christmas is a time for anticipation.

I'm starting to get excited about Christmas, too! We've decided to travel to Indiana to be with my parents. How *awesome* it will be for Luke to experience his very first Christmas and to be at his grandparents' house for the first time!!! He won't remember it, though ~ only through pictures. I remember last year how special it was to celebrate Christmas and know that soon our little guy would be here! I saw a "parents-to-be" ornament at Hallmark online ... you should check that out! :)

It's not silly at all! I've found myself thinking about it a lot lately. Being in a new house, I keep thinking about where I'm going to put all the decorations. I can't wait!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
