Well…it’s that time again. Time to break out the Christmas decorations and lights. We will probably have to get a real tree this year, or buy a new artificial one. We threw away our artificial tree that we had for over 10 years last year. The only problem is, I don’t know how I’m going to keep the babies out of it. Faith is all over the place, and Emma is not too far behind her. We always decorate the outside with lights and Christmas wreaths too.
Also, it’s time to start thinking about gift ideas. Steven and I used to really get into getting things for each other, but since we started having kids, we don’t worry about it too much anymore. We try to focus on them. We really want them to have a good Christmas. We will also need to get the grandparents something. My dad is a golfer. I won’t be able to buy him a set of golf clubs, but I may be able to get him a gift certificate for 18 holes at the local golf course. We usually have a Christmas Eve get-together with my brother and his family, so I’ll probably get them a little something. We always do gift cards every year, but this year I want to do something different. I may bake some goodies for everyone.
I’m trying to get into the spirit. It’s still tough with my mama gone, and also the fact that the anniversary of her death is 2 days before Christmas, but it I’m going to do my best. I’ve also got to plan Christopher’s 6th birthday as well, so let’s just that it’s going to be one busy month!

Sounds like you have a lot of things going on. It always makes it more challenging to think about decorating and stuff like that with so much going on. I am only at the stage where the boxes are out but decorations…still in them.

I don’t even have the boxes out. We plan to wait until this weekend to get started on it.

Thanks Monica. I know this year will be better than last year, and it will get a little easier as each year passes.
