The holiday “whirlwind effect.” It accelerates as we get older!

Richard, Time is flying by!  Part of that becomes evident as I look in my picture folder for all our blog photos...summer into fall into winter...seems like we just started, but six months in no time!

Isn't that the truth!  This year has been scary fast and I feel like we just celebrated Thanksgiving last week!

Richard, so true time flies by so fast, especially as we ge older.

As a child time went by quickly whenever we were doing anything fun...now that I am older it flies by when I am not doing anything!

So true about time.

I use to love watching it's a wonderful life and it seems like I saw it yesterday also but it was over a year and I will wait till the 23rd to see it again.

The funny thing is every year people say Christmas creeps up on them but they new about it on the 26th last year lol

Enjoy the day

And tommorow will be yesterday before you know it! Make sure you let those you love know how you feel... today.

Glad I got my hug, was great to meet you.

My Grandmother used to say... life was like toilet paper... the closer you got to the end of the roll the faster it goes...

it seems to be true.  And I usually get out my Christmas movies in August... and watch a few of them.... just because.

LOL @Tammy with the toilet paper roll analogy. Hugs? Who was giving out hugs? Oh yeah, raincamp!

It really does fly by.  It was yesterday when my 16 year old was 12!

So it just gets worse, huh?  I'm still wondering where June went...

That whirlwind is active at my house too!

Me -"Can you put those tree lights out this year?"

Husband-"Sure, I do every year!"

Me-"You haven't put those out for three years."

Husband-"Oh....seems like I just took them down."

When I was a child my Grandmother used to tell me "the older you get the faster time flys"! Boy was she ever right. Time stands still for no one.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Richard:

That is all too true.  And, I don't mind Christmases coming and going.  But I dislike the birthdays coming around and around so quickly.

Good afternoon Richard,

It is hard to believe another year is fast screeching to the end! I remember just putting away the Christmas stuff and here it is our again!!

When I was young, I wished my life away.  Nowdays, I wish for one more go around with yesterday!

I am so sure that time is happening faster. I simply cannot get everything done. We put off doing any decorating outside and it's been no higher than 20 this week. Tomorrow in 30s, but I have a 12 hour day, and then back down into teens next week. Glad to hear I'm no the only one.

Richard, you are so right. And boy do I love that movie... I mean, I really love that movie!

"I wear the chain I forged in life. I made it link by link and yard by yard. Is its pattern strange to you or would you know the length of the strong coils you bear yourself? It was as full, as heavy, as long as this seven Christmas Eves ago, you have labored on it since, it is a ponderous chain!" (yes, I know much of this part by heart, LOL)

And of course, "Mankind was my business, the common welfare was my business"

There is so much to learn from that movie, and each and every time I watch it I am amazed at how the message is still such an important one.

I just love it! That and... White Christmas of course. Oh yeah... and "A Christmas Story". What can I say...

Time really does seem to fly by the older we get and it's not fair.  I remember the torture of waiting for Christmas as a child as well.  Not anymore.  It's here in a flash.
