Has Anyone Seen My Christmas Spirit?
I seem to have misplaced my Christmas Spirit this year. I am getting bogged down in too much work and worry and not enough joy and peace. I am going to put on some Christmas music this weekend and get out the decorations, maybe if I surround myself with visual reminders I will catch the Holiday spirit!
