Wow! I was checking my Aunt's blog and found this cute widget (see right side) that is the countdown to Christmas. Let's just say, it's making me just a little bit nervous. I still want to get my 25 days of Christmas Scripture Study done. That's a lot of work, and I only have 11 more days until we start that. So much to do, so little time. Is anyone else starting to feel the crunch? There's the ward Christmas Party, then there is a piano recital, all of the crafting I'd LIKE to get done before. Black Friday should at least take care of all the rest of the presents I need to get. I think that is plenty to get done all before December 25th.
Christmas carols have always been sung early in my family. We couldn't help it. My mother was a piano teacher and as soon as the Halloween recital was over, her students began their Christmas music. So early November is quite normal for me to be singing Chirstmas carols. Of course, the Christmas decorations didn't go up until the day after Thanksgiving (even if we begged :). You know, maybe one time we did decorate after we were done with Thanksgiving dinner. ??? Nathan and I have been singing "Christmas Bells are Ringing" from the Primary Songbook with Emily for a while now. She's getting quite good at it, and the girls love the little bell bracelets that I made for them to use while we sing this song.

Live In the Moment
And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)
- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.
