December - The Race Is On

Dearest December,

     Why, oh why do you sneak up on my every year?  Why, oh why do you insist on catching me off-guard, pants down, under-prepared?  Why, oh why can't you give me a head's up, say in mid November, that you are coming?  Quickly?  Like really quickly?  Every year I promise to be more prepared.  Decorate, bake, shop, gift wrap, celebrate and enjoy the season.  Instead, I don't really decorate, I buy store bought cookies, Christmas shop in a mad, last minute frenzy, use tacky gift bags, and loose focus on what the season is all about.
     Well, guess what?  Not this year, I tell you!  December, I refuse to let you get the best of me this year.  I will make every effort to prepare, enjoy and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in a lovely setting surrounded by delicious baked goods with beautifully wrapped presents under my awe-inspired tree.  December, you don't know who you're dealing with.  Look out December, game on.
