Dare I say it, that was my thought as I was in line at a store today with my girls as well as a majority of the people who live near me.  People were crabby as the Christmas music was piping through out the store.  It was the look of chaos.  I think I may have been one of those crabby people.  I blurted it out you, know that phrase “This is what I dislike about Christmas”.   I felt that people were buying gifts like task masters just to check it off their list, their desire to be in the store was no greater then your everyday dreaded experience.  That negative energy was contagious and I said it.  I just wanted to pay for my 3 items and leave.  Urg, I was not liking how this aspect of Christmas made me feel.

  After checking out, I couldn’t wait to leave and I exited the store into the cold, brisk Midwest chill and found relief.

  I realized that I need a good dose of some Hallmark Christmas movies, some hot tea and a review of my Christmas spirit.  Perhaps that will be my focus for the next few days.

Many Christmas Blessings,

Lisa
