A foreboding Christmas as the calender closes in..

You thought Halloween was scary? Take a peek at how close we are to Christmas.. and 2014.. 

I feel like I missed a week of everything.. It was a trying and horrendous personal time for me and my family last week.

This week, with any luck and grace of an almighty something, will be better. And with a lapsed period of time such as what occurred, it frightens me to no avail when seeing the calender. The hauntingly close time until Christmas.. the lack of gifts and food at this time for the big day. Hopefully no other snowstorms interfere with the highways of life. 
Less than a week until Christmas, 2013. 
Hoping this week will be better than the last.
Hoping 2014 will be, too..





I am eagerly anticipating family, friendship, and the hope of the season. It has been too traumatic this past week to be hopeful. But that is now changing.
