"We Wish You A Merry---November??"

My husband walking along Lake Geneva in WI last December

So I have to say, I've always been one to question those who listen to Christmas music from the get-go. I mean..come on. It's not even Thanksgiving yet.

But since I've moved from home, I miss my *growing* (congrats to my sister and her husband for their new baby girl) family more and more every day.

Hearing Christmas songs reminds me of HOME. They bring me to mom's kitchen or the living room stringing ornaments on the tree to Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas---as we did every year---

So all you Early-Christmas-ers out there, I have to say, I've joined you. Because now, when the holiday shopping and traveling starts, i think i deserve a nice relaxing walk down memory lane in the car, or while shopping online.

This time of year is so rushed and goes too fast. Juggling school, work, and Lord only knows what else can steal our joy, if our hearts are not in the right place. Christmas music to me is now a quick and simple reminder of where my heart should be...so I want to absorb every minute of it <3
