I'm Dreaming of a Frozen Christmas

Today is Christmas Eve. I cannot believe it! Where has this year gone? Some days I wish we could freeze time, just for a short while. It all goes too quickly. You know those moments, right?

When you look at your children and realize that, even though you just brought them home from the hospital, they're going to be grown and gone tomorrow.

Freeze.

When your love for someone fills you so fully, there's no other place for it to go except streaming down your face in the form of sticky, salty tears.

Freeze.

When an ending is approaching, and you're not quite ready to say goodbye, to move on to the next beginning that will inevitably follow.

Freeze.

We may not get a white Christmas in our soggy corner of the world, but I hope that you each have a Frozen Christmas, at least for a few moments. Although, don't forget to let those moments thaw, because there are surely many more Freeze-worthy moments to come.

Merry Christmas.

Nancy
