Christmas Week
Well it is almost here. Will be a strange Christmas with some kids coming over one day and some another. I don't think I will get my picture of everyone around the tree this year. I need to be grateful I will have all my children near me.
I think my cold is getting better. It didn't get too bad like two years ago.
Sigh. So many things to be grateful for and I am as always struck by the Christmas blues. Just not a time of year I enjoy. A few more days and it will be over and time to pack it all back up in boxes. Hopefully I can smile through it and focus on the good things.
Both my daughter in laws seem excited. It is good to see. They both still have a child like wonder about Christmas my kids have been missing for years.

I sure know how you feel. My two sons are married and so the daughter in law\'s families seem to be the priority. Christmas will never be what it used to be. That is life and I am trying to accept that this is how it is and will be. I do not enjoy Christmas anymore and will be SO glad when it is over! I agree.I will be trying to smile through it all. For me, it will be such a relief when it is over.
Christmas was always my favorite day, until my dad died four years ago on the 30th. Now I work hard at getting through the holidays. This year is a little fun. I\'m waiting on a surprise gift for my youngest and my son is going to be happy this year because the things he really wants are under the tree. The kids will be happy, I just hope that I can put a smile on my face, even if only for a moment
