Is it really Christmas?

It doesn't seem like Christmas is really here. I have decorated, baked, went to 3 family christmas gatherings, but is just doesn't seem like it is really here. I guess the whirlwind of events this past year just makes the year seem gone. The only thing that makes it seem real to me is the fact that we are out of school these next 2 weeks. I am ready for the new year and for 2008 to be over with. I pray that 2009 is a MUCH better year. I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Stay warm and enjoy your time with family and friends.
