This year it has been hard for me to get into the Christmas spirit. The main reason being is that it still feels like summer to me. Also it is difficult to do our normal holiday traditions such as going out and picking out a real Christmas tree with hot drinks in hand. And to top it off, I have had two sick kids over the past week or so making it difficult to go Christmas shopping, do Christmas baking or get anything else done. However, we did go get a (fake) tree and decorated it (with cold drinks in hand) and it is slowly starting to feel like Christmas, just a new kind of one with new experiences and traditions.
