Over the river and through the woods

Well, we're not going to grandmother's house, but we are heading to the in-laws in Wisconsin today, so we do go over the river & through the woods. It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost here already. I detest that stores bring out Christmas things before Halloween, and I don't like do even think Christmas until after Thanksgiving Day. But at times I do wish that Advent were longer. I love singing advent carols in church. I seldom feel like I've spent enough time focusing on the coming of the Savior into the world.
