I've found myself the last week saying to myself, "I can't think about that or feel that way, it's Christmas and I need to enjoy every little minute of this time." I was amazed as I fell asleep last night that in two short nights, it would all be over. On Tuesday night, I'll fall asleep and say, "That was a great Christmas," and we'll move on with life. I'm constantly amazed at how fast things seem to pass.
There are things I'm putting aside today, things in my heart I can't put words to. Pains, worries, fears, hurts, desires, and longings. Beside those things, today is Christmas eve, this is how it is, and this is what I want to remember. I want to remember the excitement still in my heart for Christmas morning, the excitement in my little sister to get presents! The cookie decorating, the terrible Christmas music, my stuffed belly, the yummy smell of bread, the wrapping paper, the movies. And I want to capture these moments in pictures! No I don't have the lens or the speedlight or the tri-pod I want yet, but I have a camera, and this moment is now. So I will take pictures, I will not like some of them, but I will look back someday and remember these moments, these precious, beautiful moments!
I'll leave you with just a few pictures that describe some the pre- Christmas excitement happening around here:
(Still need to take a picture with presents under it and fully decorated)
