I've been grouchy. And despite having been surrounded by Christmas lights and music for weeks now, I wasn't feeling the spirit. In fact, I've been feeling put-upon and overtaxed. Even visiting the Pageant of Peace at the Ellipse didn't help. Neither did Christmas baking and fudge-making.
But then, in my normal blog wanderings I came across this post at the Bloggess. I just asked to be added to the list of donors, and although I haven't been matched yet, I already feel Christmas-y.
This is what I've been missing. Giving to someone who could use the help. We're blessed enough to be able to afford Christmas gifts and a Christmas supper and heat and our home. Now we're lucky enough to be able to give a bit of that to someone else.
It's making my day. In fact, being given this opportunity to help may be the best gift I get this year.
