December already?
Um, how did it get to be December? I mean, seriously.
December is not my favorite time of year. It's cram-as-much-work-possible-in time. It's review time (we should all know how we did by 12/17). It's holiday time so running to the mall for something is almost painful. It's dark outside early. There isn't much on tv.
But somehow it's a nice time of year too. I like the holidays. I love baking and I try not to do it too often so this is when I bake. People can be more pleasant. Kids look so cute when they're dressed up to go somewhere. Plus it means that a new year is close by. New hopes. New goals.
I should get a silly Santa hat and wear that to work. It'd make me smile and some of those grumps I work with might crack a smile too.





I think the Santa hat would be fun. I've done that a time or two, and even if people snark about it they seem to do it good-naturedly.
On the other hand, it's a dandy no-excuses-required time of year to curl up with a good book and a beverage.
Very very true!
