MERRY CHRISTMAS

Want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.  It’s here all ready, sort of snuck up didn’t it?  But with all that had to be done, or still has to be done, we all know come tomorrow morning it will be totally awesome. 

Just remember the “reason for the season” and enjoy.  Kick back, relax and know that you all did everything you could to make it an awesome day.

I finished up the wrapping last night at 12:03am.  Yeah I noticed the time cause my goal was to be done on the 23rd and boo hoo I was 3 lousy minutes into the 24th so , almost made it!!    

With all the struggles in the country ( and world) today I feel so thankful that we could put together another Christmas.  This is my most favorite time of year, the giving and making everyone happy ( I hope they are) but most of all, just knowing the family is well and we have made it through another year with our health.  Trials and tough times on the way but you know what they say “love conquers all.” 

Mama is going to have her 91st Christmas, un real huh?  Oh the stories she could tell if she was able.  I can just about imagine all the changes, the good times and the new traditions she started.  I only wish when I was younger I paid a whole lot more attention to the “detail” she put into the holiday.  She did instill some traditions in me and I intend to carry them out as long as I can.  We didn’t have alot growing up but somehow with her green stamps, hard work and sometimes the help of Santa’s Jukebox we always had a wonderful Christmas.   Now it’s my turn to make sure she has one, and that we will.  She won’t remember but at least for the “moment” she will enjoy.

She is so sweet and she is our little one this year.  Absolutely loves Santa Claus and gets so excited when you mention his name or she sees him on tv.  She even sees him outside the window, in the car etc so it’s fun.  Oh we are so fortunate to have her here with us!!!  I have been on a count down with her letting her know how many more days etc and she lights up everytime she hears “Santa.” 

Okay this lil elf is going to get busy with some baking, then I am going to relax and wait for my most favorite part of this holiday.  That is once everything is under the tree and all is said and done I tun all the lights off except the tree light, crank up the Christmas music, grab a cup of tea and sit and look!!!!  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh another year pulled off and for that we are very very fortunate.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all you great friends I have made here in the wonderful world of blogging.
