Oh my heavens!! I just blinked and Christmas flew by... did you see it? Here is it January 27th and I swear I don't remember a thing ;-). I remember waking up with a giddy love of everything Christmas and then... nothing! It is gone... booo hooo booo hooo. But never fear! Christmas 2012 is on its way!
I do solemnly swear to be organized, slow down, and enjoy this Christmas! Not that I didn't enjoy last Christmas by any means, it just flew by too fast for me. I was up the night before the girls last day of school until 1 am getting classroom gifts, teacher presents, and friends presents done. My oldest still has 2 gifts she has yet to deliver! I didn't even make neighbor gifts this year :-(. That is the first time in 15 years I haven't done neighbor gifts. But this year I will prevail! I think I know the problem. Last Christmas was the first time we didn't go home to Kansas. Up until last year I have had to be prepared for Christmas by November. This year I drug my feet knowing I didn't have a dead line except for Christmas it's self. Soooo, this year I vow to be done by.... hmmm, OCTOBER!! That's right October. This a way I can enjoy each holiday to it's fullest and not worry about this or that. October... I can do it (in a meek voice)! I will do it!!!
I don't have any extraordinary Christmas pics to share so I will turn to the one and only Pinterest :-). There are always great pics on there!
And...
Aren't they sweet?! If I was only that creative... and patient :-)
Thank you for stopping by my little Christmas corner!

You're right, it always creeps up and then bam...it's over!! I have finally put away everything, but I decorated my 5ft. alpine tree with white lights and snowflakes with snow garland, and put little red shiny hearts for Valentine's Day on it. I love the glow of tree lights. It will stay this way until the middle of March and then I'll decorate it for Easter. I just think that the Christmas holiday is really hard to prepare for no matter how hard you try. It's just that BIG!!! Not only that, Thanksgiving is just a month before which is a huge holiday to prepare for too! Somehow, it seems to come together but at the end, I like you, wonder what happened! Have a really great weekend!! :)
I feel the same way! I was hastily sewing PJs for the family late into Christmas Eve. Silly!
Yesterday I finally took down my decorations...the tree is still up, but undecorated. The house looks so barren without all the holiday cheer.
Glad you had a nice Christmas, even if it was speedy.
