Holidaze.

This has been a great month. There's enough to do, with the perfect amount of downtime as well. Lots of cocoa and hot totties. Football, bonfires, nights of watching the flashing lights on the porch.

I still struggle with the practical, scrooge tendencies.

However, I have hindsight based on past Christmas seasons. I want to give everything to my family to see those Christmas morning reactions. The joy on their faces. The overwhelmed, wide-eyed wonder at such an abundance. The busy, loud, full life happening then. It's a part of a larger story we're all trying to understand in this season.

Here's to a Christmas season mindful of the abundance we have in spirit and truth, and enough sense to enjoy the mystery and impracticality of it all.

Happy holidaze.
