As I sit here sipping on my skinny latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon I realize that there are just 4 short days until Christmas. Are you ready? I'm almost done....I have one project yet to do...hopefully I will get to it today.
Hubby and I were out shopping on the weekend....well I was shopping he was my side kick. He tells me he can't start shopping until at least the 22nd...he needs the pressure he says. Thanks but no thanks. Not for me.....as it was I started my Christmas preparation a little later this year than I normally do...but it's funny, it always seems to comes together in the end. Christmas is kind of like having a baby it comes whether your ready or not!
I was watching the news last night and the weather reports. We have youngest son travelling from Ontario out west today. With all the storms out east I was worried his flight might be cancelled. Hubby informs me that he would not be flying through the area where the major storms are...but you never know with the weather. I was feeling so sorry for those folks all stranded at the airports. One woman was trying to head south for her daughters wedding the next day....I hope she makes it....personally though if my daughter was getting married I wouldn't be travelling the day before her wedding to get there...especially in the winter.
Anyhow, youngest should be here by dinner time....we are so excited. He can't arrive soon enough!
So I should get myself moving...things to do places to be.....but I would like to leave you with this rendition of Silent Night....it's a bit of a rocking version sung by Johnny Reid...a Scottish country singer if you can imagine that....Johnny Reid - Silent Night Enjoy!
Happy Monday to you all!

I hope your stepson has a safe flight. I was watching CNN today and they said that even flights well away from the storms are affected though, that might just be US flights-not Canadian.
I like your analogy of Christmas and having a baby! LOL
I just have to clean the house and make the mince pies and I'm ready :)
Thanks for a lovely post and equally lovely music to go with it too. Tonight, I'm all of a sudden bordering on extreme sentimentality/depression -don't know why, what all of a sudden brought it on, but it's not totally unexpected either because I almost always dip into a funk like this somewhere around the holiday -usually hits more on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day though. I'll start working on pulling myself up and over this hump and maybe it will be completely gone then by Thursday night or Friday morning.
Hope all goes (or went) well with the flight and that you and yours enjoy a beautiful and blessed Christmas together, as family, which is how it should be. (Wonder if baking cookies would be better or should I wrap gifts? Decisions, decisions!)
Totally love Johnny's rendition of my favorite Christmas carol! Thank you for introducing me to him. And I have now introduced him to many others.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family! Have a wonderful new year too!
Hope you had a great Christmas. We had a quiet one celebrated with a ride into the bush. Happy New Year. - Margy
