It's beginning...

I was supposed to Skype with three different friends today and for various reasons did not end up talking to any of them. It gets so frustrating not being able to have normal, full, face to face conversations with people close to my heart. And being thousands of miles and several time zones away makes it so all the more. This morning's excitement transitioned into disappointment fairly quickly so I did something I knew would put me in a good mood: making Christmas decorations.

I'm well aware of how crazy it is to start getting ready for Christmas now, but I love the whole season and want to extend it as much as others will let me. I only out together a few things, which I can easily place out of sight until the day after Thanksgiving.
