Patience
They say patience is a virtue. But now is a gift and that’s why we call it the present. And I would like presents now please.
When I was a kid December seemed soooo looooong. HOW many more days until Christmas? It’s not here yet? But we’ve had the stockings out forever already! As an adult, I check the calendar with ever increasing anxiety. Despite the fact that that retailers have been reminding me about Christmas since Halloween, I did not heed their warnings and put off shopping, imagining that this year maybe there won’t be a Christmas! There seem to be no shortage of characters trying to prevent it. Maybe one of those villains will get lucky this time and I won’t have to bother!
Actually, I fall pretty squarely between those people who wish it was Christmas every single day, and those who are seriously going to burst into a homicidal rage if they are forced to hear “Jingle Bells” one more time. I am very fond of the sparkly lights, warm beverages, and well wishes from people that I care about. I’m not so fond of “Jingle Bells.”
