We all have our own way of confronting (or trying to hide from) the Holidays.
It's not ONLY Christmas, of course--although both secular and sacred Christmas imagery and messaging seem to be everywhere in my Kansas City environment. From Festivus to Kwanzaa, from Hanukkah to Winter Solstice celebrations to Yule, there seems to be a holiday for everybody at this time of year.
Whatever holidays you celebrate, how's it going? We're at the mid-point of December. Are you ready?
Perhaps you're one of those organized, super-prepared people, who've been buying a building stockpile of presents since last January. You already have you holiday greeting cards in the mail (or your e-cards pre-loaded to send at just the perfect moment).
Perhaps you're in the thick of it now--still working on the gift list, still considering your plans. Partway there--getting there--but not done yet. That's about where I am: working on it. If you're still looking for creative gift-wrapping ideas, you may find some of my last-December Image-of-Interest posts helpful.
Or maybe you prefer to live dangerously, and save your shopping/decorating/cooking for the last possible second. Good luck, and may the Creative Force be with you, all you last-minute thrill-seekers!
No matter how you celebrate--and no matter which, if any, holidays you celebrate--I hope you find some merriment along the way!
