Christmas, I made it.
Well here it is Christmas eve, I thought that I would have been more stressed out than I am. I also know it was harder last year because I was working. I use to love this season from November thru-December. I had one of the most decorated houses inside and out. The kids in my neighborhood loved it. Then I got sick. I did what I could for my daughter is still young and I didn't want to take our traditions away because I didn't feel good. So this year I didn't do half as much shopping that I usually do and I used the old gift bags on alot of gifts. That was a godsend. It saved do much time and energy. It is really hard for me to sit on the floor because my legs get stuck and don't want to bend not tomention going to sleep. We have a beautiful tree and the house is decorated just enough. I thank the Lord that he helped me get through it with ease. I might get my holiday sprirt back if it continues to run this smooth next year. Just being sick over the last 10, yes 10 years actually more but I didn't know why until 10 years had taken all the spirit that I loved out. It was a burden and nobody likes to do things if they are aburden. I really hope that I can keep the momentum up for Valentines, Easter, etc. I really loved to decorate and have parties, We had a bonfire not to long ago and then I realized how much I missed doing that. I use to throw my husbands work crew a holiday party each year with door prizes and all. Then I got suck and nothing has been the same since. I am looking forward to going to Myrtle Beach Sunday. We will be there for New Years this year. We take vacation this time of year because my husbands work shuts down for the week and When I worked Kelley and I had off school. So it was perfect. A plus to is we leave the cold for a little warmer climate each year. My bones really hate cold weather. They tremble at the word cold!! Well that is it for now. I have to get ready to go to the in-laws for our gift exchange, My family (immediate) family all moved away to TN. so it is just a card and a call from them. Thank you Lord again for getting me through this season with a smile on my face that has been absent during this season for a long, long time.
