Holiday Season

This holiday season has been filled with baking, decorating and holiday parties.  Busy, busy!  I find that December is sometimes so busy that it is difficult to actually have joy in the season.  I enjoy doing all of those things - baking cookies, cinnamin rolls, and peppermint bark, decorating the tree, and seeing friends, but sometimes it is all too much.  I find myself craving simplicity and peace and ways to remind myself what this is all about.
