Where's the Christmas Cheer?

I can't believe Christmas is in less than two weeks. The whole month of December has felt very hectic with a long list of to-do' s and events. I haven't really even begun Christmas shopping or most importantly "prepared Him room" in my heart. How did things gets so crazy?
And to top off the normal busyness of this time of year, the accreditation board for my company is here this week for our 3-year review. I mean, who comes to do an audit two weeks before Christmas??!! It just seems absurd. It seems like a very Grinchy or Scroogey thing to do.
So, I spent the entire weekend at work trying to catch up all of my reports and files. I would've much rather spent the weekend in the comfort of my home watching the snowflakes fall and avoiding the blustery winds and painfully cold weather. And maybe Will and I could've decorated our tree. We bought our tree Thursday night and it has since stood looking very sad and empty in the corner of our living room. We debated last night whether or not we should even decorate it.... When did decorating the tree become a chore?
My part of the audit should be over on Wednesday and I am hoping that things will begin to slow down afterwards and that I will begin to feel more of the Christmas cheer.
