December is a great month. I love the anticipation of Christmas and the holidays. Trained by my many years as a school teacher, I close the shop for two weeks around Christmas and New Years and spend my time playing with my family and quilting friends.
With so much to get done for others and myself, I have scheduled Friday Night Free for Alls for the first three Fridays in December and I will actually have everything done by Friday, December 19th! Yippee!
There's another kind of "rush" I feel for December -- It's the joy of watching: my grandson Kai carefully placing ornaments on my tree so the Santa Clauses face outward or serving at Mass and trying not to yawn or sneeze, my granddaughter Quinn climbing into my lap with a book or seriously coloring a picture with only one crayon, my daughter Lisa's chocolate lab Daisy plopping herself at our feet, Lisa and Jeremy together and still obviously in love, my daughter Laura and her love for her husband and children, my husband Joe bonding over football with his sons-in-law.
I have never had any trouble finding the real sentiment of the season -- it's all around me -- I just have to look.
