'Tis the season

I love this time of year, absolutely love it. The cookies, the children's pageant at church, the time with family. What I absolutely hate about it is how stressful we've all made it. I include myself in that "we" because I think this week has been the most stressful and unproductive since, well, last week.

Work is totally crazy..everyone rushing to finish end of year projects, have end of the year meetings and generally scrambling. This translates to short tempers, downright rudeness, and that's just me! And even if you're in a good mood, the stress of other people is going to wear off on you too.

So today I'm going to try to be a little more spirited, a little less rushed, and a little more focused on the true meaning of this holiday: Cookies.
