Well, for all of you who are keeping track, today is 6 months from Christmas day!  I mentioned this to my boss this morning; he is always reminding me; I beat him to the punch! He said I’d better call and remind his wife so she could start her shopping!

Now I like Christmas as well as the next guy, in fact, probably more than most. And I love my little Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. But I am definitely NOT ready for that just yet.  I love summer, and warm weather, and bare feet, and shorts and sunshine and gardens and running outside!   No jackets, boots, mittens,  icy roads, shoveling snow!

But I will make this one concession.  I will “honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year”, to quote ‘A Christmas Carol’.  Peace, kindness, joy, sharing, laughter. 

Yep.  When it comes to that part of the holiday, I’m good…..
