I am three days in to a five day vacation and I can't believe it's almost over. I have such weird views on vacation. I am not one to want to rest or sit still. Don't get me wrong I love to sleep but at night. During the day, it's go-go-go. Having time off from work I just LOVE being at work. I love feeling productive everyday and I love being with others everyday. So vacation for me is a little hard. I had to learn that the hard way when I was in the DR. They probably thought I was nuts because I wanted to keep doing work. Never stop! So I at least learned from Nancy what rest is, soul resting.
So now tomorrow I am off to the old hometown to have Christmas. I am "so" excited. I just want to get this holiday over for some reason. It's an amazing time to celebrate the real reason, but it gets sickening looking at how materialistic people get around this time. Like myself for an example. Today I bought myself two sweatshirts and sunglasses just because they were on sale. I don't like myself around this time. You also begin to get that weird feeling that what I have everyone isn't good enough. Seriously Abby, wake up! I just needed a wake up call right there....

I think you are being too hard on yourself, Abby...there is a balance - to remember the reason we are celebrating - Jesus' birth - but to also be able to enjoy some of your hard-earned money. If your mind is set in the right place for the season, there's nothing wrong with getting excited for a couple gifts you want, getting into the Christmas frenzy of buying gifts, etc. I bet there are many ways to still experience God's love out and about in the mall looking and taking part in the great deals...you just have to look for them!
