This blog is written by my co-editor Cheryl Clemens:
My husband keeps asking me if I want to go to the Ravens game on Sunday, and while I love football, I’ve been hesitant to commit.
It finally dawned on me why: This is the last weekend before holiday madness begins. One week from tomorrow is Thanksgiving, followed by Black Friday, followed by weeks and weekends filled with decorating, shopping, wrapping and parties.
I love the holidays, but I think I want to just savor this last weekend of normalcy. No demands, no deadlines looming — just a calm, relaxing weekend with the family.
I need to gather my strength before the marathon begins.
Too late — with church bazaars, school fundraisers, American Education Week, etc., I feel like the holiday frenzy began on Halloween.
Amen Kate - I feel the same way!!!
