'Tis the Season, really?!

It seems that every year goes by just a little bit faster. It's hard to believe that the Holidays are already upon us. Unfortunately, the warm weather in the Northeast and a busy schedule has left me in an October state of mind. Right now, I will realize that I can't slow down time and it is, in fact, going to be December no matter what I do, so I will accept the smile from a stranger, a warm cup of hot chocolate by my imaginary fireplace and enjoy this wonderful Holiday season.
