seems like more than a week ago.....

I took down the outside Christmas lights yesterday afternoon. I went outside last night to get something out of my car, and it was much darker out there than it was the night before. Only a couple of houses on our street still had their lights out. I love to see lights on and around houses. Those two houses stood out even more last night.

I came back inside and it hit me - Christmas day had been just 7 days ago. How is that possible? Why does it feel like it was so much longer than that? Maybe it's because we spend so much time preparing for it, then when the day arrives it's over with in a blink of on eye.

We're keeping the Christmas trees up a few more days.....
