Oh the weather outside is...well, warm!

The holiday season is creeping up on us....and I am trying to take deep breathes and not be overwhelmed by my increasingly busy schedule. Remarkably, I am making choices to chip away at some obligations in advance so that I can actually enjoy them! What a concept.
Last night, when I finally reached destination: home, I slipped into my "play clothes" took Polly for a walk, had a short iced coffee, made some necessary phone calls and then...I quickly found an old Christmas CD, The Young Messiah featuring Sandi and Larnelle, BeBe & CeCe, Carmen, Twila and 4Him. Funny, most of you know exactly who these singers are even without my giving the last names :-)
Downstairs I went to find Christmas paper, upstairs I went to get the special ribbon, and I began to wrap. Polly was perfectly content to follow me wherever I went and happy that I settled in the dining room. Soon, I found myself singing (loudly, I will admit) "and He shall reign and He shall reign....forever and ever...hallelujah, hallelujah....King of Kings and Lord of Lords...."
Next time I blog, I'll tell you what presents I was wrapping~you'll like it.
