'Tis the Season :)

We are less than a week away from Christmas and yet somehow, I still don't feel prepared. But that's not stopping anyone else so I guess I better get shopping.

My room is clean, immaculate even, which means I have time to focus on the more important things this next week. Things like catching up on my huge stack of reading and playing settlers of Catan and risk with my family:) Did I mention that I am really looking forward to the next few days?
We may not have any snow on the ground and the weather might perhaps feel a bit like June with balmy winds and sunny days, but that's not stopping us from drinking eggnog like it's water or filling the house with the smell of gingerbread smothered in cider sauce.

How is it that Christmas just gets better every year?

Sometimes I feel the urge to write a book just so there would be something I could read without having to read the back cover or skim through it. I wish I could just pick up a book where the storyline was not only in depth and creative but that was also full of real life issues, redemption and the true nature of man. Don't get me wrong, there are untold amounts of magnificent, glorious of books out there, written by brilliant theologians and beautifully gifted storytellers. Many of these books are classics and a vast amount I have already read.

But why is finding a good book written in the past five years so hard? Something a bit deeper than Harry Potter or Twilight would be nice. But alas.....my mind is one big jumbled mass of words of late and I think I'll have to sort through everything before I can ever begin to write out the endings to novels!
