\nA magical thing, and sweet to remember:<\/span>
\n“We are nearer to spring than we were in September.”<\/span>
\n~ Oliver Herford, “Hope,” in The Century Magazine, January 1914<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
December is Here!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\nIt’s here! The month that is ‘the Holidays’. People complain that the Holidays come too early, but if you’re like me, you start early because the season comes with a long list of to-do’s: shopping, parties, gatherings, decorating, shopping, crafting, eating, stressing, spending, crying, overwhelm, depression, sleepless nights….<\/span><\/p>\nHmmm. Maybe we could try, at least as much as possible in the busy weeks to come, to follow Mother Nature’s lead. Rest. Sleep. Be Still.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"It's](\"https:\/\/www.hallstirredup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DecQuote-18-2023_Double_1170x1755_PROMO.jpg\")
<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nDecember Quote<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nMy choices for this month’s quote are more about this season of the year, and less about the holidays. Yes, the holidays are coming quick and I’ll join the celebration, but I chose quotes to give us a chuckle or a bit of hope for the goodness of the season. Below are my pick of the December quotes, in no particular order:<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt is December, and nobody asked if I was ready.\u201d<\/span>
\n~ Sarah Kay<\/span><\/p>\nHow did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?<\/span>
\n~ Dr. Seuss<\/span><\/p>\nGod gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.<\/span>
\n~ James M. Barrie<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cMay and October, the best-smelling months? I’ll make a case for December: evergreen, frost, wood smoke, cinnamon.\u201d<\/span>
\n~ Lisa Kleypas<\/span><\/p>\nAnd my favorite December Quote reminds me to have hope for warmer days ahead:<\/span><\/p>\n![\"It's](\"https:\/\/www.hallstirredup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DecQuote-18-23_1000x1500_PROMO.jpg\")
