'Tis the Season

I am not ready for Christmas yet. It took us a week to get the Christmas tree up and we still need to put all of the ornaments on it! I have a few other decorations put up, but I think I need to finish cleaning the house before I can finish decorating. I thought that I had plenty of time to get things done, but it just dawned on me yesterday that I only have week nights left to finish! Where did all of the weekends go? I haven't even begun shopping because I have to wait until payday on Friday... and that is the day everyone is coming to our home! I am excited to host Christmas at our house this year, but maybe I should have thought this through and made a plan! Oh well, 'tis the season!

Is that correct? 'tis? I mean an apostophe usually replaces missing letters or numbers like 'til or '05, but what is 'tis short for? It is? If so, wouldn't it be 't_is? No, that doesn't look right either. I wonder if spell checker will flag it?

Wow, this spell checker is not very good. It said that I spelled apostophe wrong, but had no similar suggestions. I went into word, and it said that it's spelled correctly. It also said that 'tis and 'til are correct too. David - I hope you are not putting much faith in this spell checker!
