Every morning son Joseph, 9, reminds us of how many more days it is until Christmas.
When he told me this morning that there were only "13 days" it really dawned on me just how close the holiday season really is. I think the children are getting a little worried and keep asking Joe and I when we are going Christmas shopping. We have a few of their gifts, but it just seems time goes too fast. We plan to go shopping on Saturday.
