Sans snow

I don't know what it is this year, but Christmas is coming with record breaking speed. I can't believe it's only a week away! I've got some last minute gifts to get, there's still some wrapping to do and cookies to be baked yet. For whatever the reason, I'm feeling so out of it this year. Could it be the lack of snow and warmer temperatures? Could it be that my whole rhythm is off because it seems more like fall than winter outside? The whole spirit of Christmas is eluding me with the weather like this. I need cold, I need snow, I need to be on schedule and I'm not. Jack Frost, Mr. Winter, Mother Nature, whoever is responsible....bring me some snow...please!
