I am usually the biggest fan of Christmas there is.
By this time of the year, I am usually listening to holiday tunes 24/7, baking gingerbread men galore, have visited and gotten my picture taken with Santa, drinking hot chocolate every night, built a glorious snowman, gone sledding, and have already finished and wrapped all of my christmas shopping.
This year, however, is different.
I feel like a sick combination of Ebezener Scrooge and the Grinch.
I have absolutely no Christmas spirit.
I can seriously sympathize with Cindy Lou Who singing "Where Are You Christmas?"
I don't know why, but I honestly feel like Christmas is not happening this year.
Well....maybe I do know why.
Maybe it is because I am getting married in four days, and I have been so preoccupied with the wedding that Christmas has not even appeared on my radar.
Maybe it is because, due to the fact that we sent out 700+ wedding invitations, the Craig family is definitely not doing a Christmas card this year.
Maybe it is because I will be on my honeymoon for Christmas, so I will not be there for all of the usual Christmas traditions.
Maybe it is because I had the grade papers this year instead of decorate the Christmas tree...boo
Maybe it is because for the first time in 15 years that I don't have a chocolate advent calendar....double boo
Or maybe it is just because I have to survive finals before the most wonderful day of the year can arrive/
Regardless of the reason, I am no where near ready for Christmas.
I have not bought a SINGLE present yet and I have absolutely no idea when I will find time to.
(I should probably finish purchasing wedding presents first anyways)
Hopefully, like Scrooge, I will be visited by three ghosts who will bring back my Christmas spirit and help me check off everything on my Christmas to do list.
But until then....
