Every time I hear the song, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." I feel as if the music is jerking out of the world I'm living in and making me realise it's ALMOST Christmas! Yikes!
It feels most media have left it late to mention Christmas... the 2 radio stations I listen to most have only just begun to play Christmas music... I think maybe the Christmas bug has not bitten me yet because I haven't had time to stop and think about it! It's hard to get into the spirit when you are working and hardly have any shopping time...and then realise you are quickly running out of time! I don't finish work until 23rd Dec....I used to always finish the week before Christmas when I was casual. I loved the lead up week...now I feel I don't have enough time to enjoy it...
I'm also widely aware of the fact society is trying to rob us of our Christmas and turn it into something pagan... As far as I'm concerned, I am a Christian and I celebrate Christmas. I will NOT say "Happy Holidays" or "Greetings of the season" or anything that strips away the true meaning of this time.
At least we have that right! We have the freedom to choose what we believe and nobody can strip that from us:)
So, in conclusion:
Merry Christmas!!!
What an exciting time for us Christians!:)

I know exactly how you feel! Coming home from swim practice today placed the same thoughts in my mind. I'm so busy with school, sports, clubs, and homework that I haven't even been able to enjoy any of the traditional festivities of Christmastime.
Hoping you get into the spirit :D
One year, I didn't feel Christmasy until church on Christmas Eve! Nonetheless, it wasn't too late, so I know there is hope for you yet!
Merry Christmas!
It's hard when you have so many things on your mind, that you must make yourself STOP and take it all in:)
