Feels alot like Christmas

I'm starting to get that itch....this has to be my favorite time of the year. Family, christmas decorations, twinkly lights, carols, and who could forget all the hot chocolate and dainities!!!! I would have to say that my favorite thing about Christmas is just being able to see all the family that you don't get to see on a regular basis. Growing up Christmas was always a big thing in my family. We would spend Christmas Eve with one set of grandparents and Christmas afternoon with the other. Now that I am married and have children tradition has changed a bit but not much. We spend Christmas Eve with my husbands family and Christmas Day with mine. There is no greater joy than seeing the smiles on the faces of your children.
This year things are being done much differently....which makes it all that much more exciting for me! Baird's grandmother is going away for Christmas so instead of the traditional Christmas Eve gathering we will be celebrating on the 6th of December, and since my family is going to Mexico in January for my brothers wedding we will not be leaving the city this year. Baird's parents will be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us in our home. This leaves me with emotions on both sides of the coin. I have always wanted to have Christmas at our house so I am very excited for that, but this is also the first time ever that I will not be having any Christmas with any of my family.

So the countdown is on in my house.....18 days until the tree goes up!!!!!

You should be happy with what you have.....

Wow...some people have nothing better to do than to complain about everything! Ya I wish my life were perfect too....unfortunately that is not how life goes! There are so many people out there that would love to trade you shoes! They have kids with lukemia or a son or daughter that has been in a horrific car accident, or even those that have to hold there baby as it dies...and all you can do is complain about the simple little things in life that you can change! You should be happy with what you have....sure somebody else may have something you think that you want, but all you are looking at is what is on the outside!

O well, what is life when can't complain about what you don't have!

Happy Hump Day!!!!!
