Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love the lights, the trees, the food, the
traditions, and the spirit of the holiday.
I made the decision the last couple of years to not decorate due to lack
of time and four cats who know no boundaries, and I really miss it. The cats were restless last night, and I kept
hearing things banging around in the kitchen so I finally investigated. One (or more) had gotten a side drawer open
and found a small Christmas tree ornament and was batting it all over the tile
floor. I hadn’t even realized it was in
that drawer!
Even though there are trees up and the store is decorated at
work (my office is at the Neiman Marcus flagship store in Dallas), there are lights up in the neighborhood, and
Christmas music is on the radio, it just hadn’t been feeling like Christmas is
next week. Until I got home last night
and found that the annual Tin of Fudge and Cherry Mash had arrived. My sister-in-law makes THE best fudge. I ripped open the package, saw the
gorgeous Christmas tin, took the lid off, and there it was. FUDGE.
NOW it feels like the holidays have arrived.
