I just read a blog complaining about the limbo week between Christmas and New Years. I didn't get it. This week is the most wonderful week of the entire year. There is down time to relax and read the new books you have received for Christmas. Time to snuggle with a loved one and watch the DVD's I love, new ones (Mama Mia) and old ones (The Christmas Story). This is a time to enjoy the lights on the tree and nap by the fire. The only week of the year when the house doesn't have to be perfect because I can explain away the mess. Not much cooking is needed, we are surviving on leftovers and cookies, candy and fruit. There is even time to write a few thank you notes and time to praise God from whom all blessings flow.
No one is rushing anywhere. This is the one week in the year where you have just completed your list and you don't have to make a new one until January 2. Truly the best time of year!
"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
2 Corinthians 9:15
