I am trying to get Christmas in every corner! Christmas keeps the cold outside, warming from the inside, maybe the decorations should stay up till April! Of course I ordered online to top up decorations and now there is a strike…The living room has been done now for a couple of weeks, earliest I have ever done it! The presents are less, but the Christmas presence is abundant. I am pretty sure it rained for forty days and nights, so it was needed. It certainly tested my glass half full, I kept saying, “At least it isn’t cold, at least it isn’t snow.” By the end of it, I was definitely annoyed. Winter will be here in twenty one days, and Christmas four days later!
I am still not used to this grown kid thing at Christmas. Nothing better than littles being tucked in on Christmas Eve after one present and cookies and carrots being left out. Their little faces on the big day, big dinner, toy laden paths everywhere. I can still picture my son bouncing around the bedroom from bed to bed, singing Suzy Snowflake, the carefully written letters to Santa. I remember the year that my oldest busted her brother’s punching toy, and never told me it was her till years later. This house was always full.
I will still watch the radar for Santa. I will quote the Grinch and Elf. I still get excited when I see Santa, once in awhile you see a real one and I just wanna squeeze em and say thank you. Social media floods with all the Christmas photos, commercials get tender.. more streaming nowadays, I don’t see that many. I was rather disappointed that I was unable to get a normal Advent calendar. They made elaborate ones with bigger boxes and fancier chocolate. I like the old ones, just a nibble to keep track of the days. I do resist change, hoping not too much around Christmas changes. I have a huge donation pile going out. I love giving at Christmas! Sometimes it is a little lonelier at Christmas, be sure to see lots of people! Enjoy December !
