Say It Ain't So

How is Christmas over already?

There is the preparing, 
                shopping,
                    wrapping,
                        baking,
                           cooking,
                               traveling,
                                    smiling,
                                         singing,
                                             and SANTA!!!

 SANTA! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM!

-"ELF" movie

Then comes the opening,
                  ooo and aahh-ing,
                             thanking,
                                  eating,
                                      packing,
                                          and traveling again!



I turned around and it's over!  How is Christmas over!?!

At least there are photographs to say hey remember this? 

Remember what the REAL tree smelled like? 

Remember playing a Wii Dance-off with your nieces?
Remember watching your nephew's hockey games?

Remember your Dad, sister, and niece dressed up in the church Christmas play?
Remember the gingerbread decorating contest with your loved ones?

Remember being all bundled up looking at the Macy's windows?
Remember? Remember?

"Maybe Christmas, 

the Grinch thought,

 doesn't come from a store."

~Dr. Seuss
