it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

so it's true. it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. things are starting to get ridiculously busy. i am looking forward to the fact that on the evening of dec 19th, i'll head off to seattle for Christmas and then on to melbourne. i will be looking forward to the different kind of business that that will bring - i have already been booked in to babysit when i arrive in seattle.
last sunday sandra spoke about the wonder of Christmas. the wonder of God. how we often forget to look for the small, or large, things that create a sense of awe in us.
i have found some this week. i can't remember mondays, but on tuesday it was the fog. it was crazy fog. and in the next few days i think it could be snow. i just heard on the news that there is freezing rain/snow forecast for tonight. brrrr.
but i have to admit that last saturday as matt and i walked through the city, i did get a little excited about having a cold Christmas. i really did. it was nice. of course, that doesn't mean in any way, shape or form that i wouldn't rather spend Chritmas in the heat, going to carols by candlelight at the sidney myer music bowl. i will miss that a lot. but i did get a little excited about the cold Christmas.
anyway, go look for some wonder andstop sitting on your butt and surfing the web.
