I know that the holidays can be overwhelming and the true meaning of the season can get lost in the bright lights of the malls and the crowds, but there are things you can do to get yourself in the holiday spirit.
This past Saturday, my hubby and I got up early and headed for the movie theatre. At 10 AM they screened a Christmas favorite--National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The price of admission--a non-perishable food item for the food bank. Hubby and I arrived with our bag of groceries in hand and joined the other early-morning moviegoers for a holiday treat.
There were families, groups of teeneagers, and a surprising number of fathers with their kids. I imagine mom was taking this time to either get some holiday shopping done or having some well-deserved time to herself. Either way, the atmosphere was fun and delightful.
There are all kinds of events like this during the next few weeks. Do yourself a favor and find one. You'll be glad you did.

We just put up our tree and interior decorations. Really makes it feel Christmasy here. This weekend we are gonna put up the exterior decorations. We were gonna do it tomorrow but we are supposed to get snow so it'll have to wwait till the weekend.
That sounds lovely, Kathy. We've got up our decorations, but not the tree yet. Hopefully, we'll get to that this weekend. The weather always plays a role in when the outside lights go up. Hope you get them done.
