It's December, the month sends people into scramble mode. The thing is, I kind of feel like I've been in scramble mode since the end of January 2011. I had finally gotten into settling mode when people started talking about full calenders and how to juggle it all. Just once I'd like to get to an end of a year with out feeling like I'm running the worse kind of race. I kind of feel like this is that year. I've got most of our Christmas shopping done, a plan for our annual Christmas card and a vague idea of what's happening over our Christmas vacation. Things will fall into the right place and this is what I'm thankful for this week.

I am thankful for all the things that are happening this month. Monday, Chris and I will see Florence + The Machine as our Christmas present to ourselves. We have friends visiting in a week and we will be visiting friends and family at the end of the month. I am thankful for the hustle and bustle of December.

Also, I'm thankful for the daily square of chocolate in my advent calender.
