Annnnnnnnnnnd, she's back.

I didn't realize how much NaBloPoMo knocked me out until...well...I noticed 3 weeks had passed since I'd posted.

But you know....when you're an adult, December is busy, y'all. All those errands I've had to run to Amazon have me simply beat. (Fun fact: This Christmas brought to you by Amazon.) Truth be told, I had all of my *present* shopping done weeks ago...but the stockings always give me a little hiccup. Which is why I found myself at a big-box-store three days before Christmas. (Which, as an aside, tooooooooooooootally validated my internet purchases. I noticed a little twitch yesterday when I put something [physical] into my [physical] cart without reading any reviews on said product. It hurt me.)

What I'm trying to say is that things have been a little bit crazy--what with all of the December shenanigans I decided to undertake. I'm using the term "shenanigans" so as to disguise the fact that it's an all-encompassing term for errands/concerts/projects/wrapping/sewing...and so I don't have to enumerate said errands/concerts/projects/wrapping/sewing. Then you'd all know what you're getting for Christmas. And I can't have you opening your package from me when it arrives on December 29th (sorry!) and saying to yourself, "Oh yeah....I totally knew about this."

In all of the hustle--and knowing that a make-up post like this was in my [not] near [enough] future, I wanted to share a little piece of holiday cheer with you. If you're a fan of nativities (which I happen to be), you'll probably love (I hope!) this post specifically about Brian Kershisnik's painting, "Nativity," that's now displayed at the BYU Museum of Art. (Is anyone else flashing back to lunches at the MOA right now? I am.) For the first time, I feel sort of validated in many of the reasons I love this painting with all my heart. The BCC post hit so many touching points on the head--it may very well get read  at my house on Christmas Eve. It's Christmas perfection.
