Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like.......Finals

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....
