Merry Christmas!!

From Our Home To Yours...Many wishes for a wonderful and blessed holiday season!

Merry Christmas!!

It's December...

And I have not posted for some time. I don't know why...probably because I've been extremely busy at work (more than I ever imagined), plus it's that time of year. Time seems to escape me when December rolls around. Hard to believe Christmas is only 14 days away.

I found this picture on my camera...I'm not responsible for it. I know it was either my husband or my stepson, but I'm not sure which. I thought it was a beautiful picture and it brought a smile to my face. A nice surprise.

For the most part, we are ready for Christmas. I think. I still have some trimming to do on the Christmas tree at home (at least it's up! With lights! Of course, the tree is pre-lit). The tree and I have issues every year. It bites when you are trying to 'fluff' it. And a Christmas tree that has been in a box for 11 months needs fluffing. Lots. So, I am licking my battle wounds as I prepare for another battle...adding the ornaments or aka 'trimming the tree'.

My Christmas cards are in the mail (YAY! On time this year!) and I have two more presents to shop for (but I know what I'm going to get; just need that boost of energy to go get them). And I have a couple of packages to get in the mail (another battle--the post office. Sigh.)

Over all, I feel as though I am ahead. And that is a good feeling. Christmas is my favorite time of year, but it's also the hardest time of year for me. I still think about my mom every day. I know she is smiling down upon us because this was her favorite time of year too. And she would be happy that I am *feeling* good about Christmas.
