It's Friday, Love

I'm really trying I promise. I've put up my Christmas decorations, sung carols and sent out Christmas Cards. I've been to great parties and spent time with awesome friends. But if I'm being honest I'm having trouble getting into the spirit this year. Maybe it's because Thanksgiving was late and everything  feels rushed. Maybe it's because I've had a ton of work trips lately and I'm exhausted. Maybe it's because as you get older the holidays change and you think about all the people who won't be with you this year. Or maybe, and this is the real reason, it's because the one thing I want for Christmas this year I can't have. The lights just aren't as bright as they normally are. But that's life and every year can't be amazing. Every Christmas won't be exactly what I want. But here's hoping my Christmas wish gets heard by someone upstairs and if I'm very good all next year I'll get it. Don't worry, I'll have a rest and feel better. In the mean time here's some Christmas photos to cheer you up in case you have the holiday blues as well:).
