Can I get a Bah Humbug?

Some of my most fondest memories come from the Christmas Holidays. Remember when you were a kid and couldn't wait for that Christmas Day to come? The whole month of December was filled with that anticipation of the BIG day. You counted the days and you thought the 25th would never come.



Well......to live in my house right now, would make you think that it's just another regular day. There is no Christmas music, there is not one single decoration, and we haven't been to any stores busy with Christmas shoppers. What's wrong with us?

1. We're too busy running the business to get any of it done.

2. Now that the kids are bigger -- most of the fun is gone.

3. It seems more like a chore to clean, decorate, take down the decorations, and clean again. There is no extra time in our lives. If we put up the decorations -- we might not get to putting them away until April.



This next year the word that will choose to live by and believe in will be monumental in getting my life under control again (but you're not gonna find that out until next month when I reveal it) I miss all the hoopla about the holidays and feel like I'm nothing but a robot plodding through life.

So Feliz Navidad......today is the day I'll go into the attic and pull down that 2' fiberoptic Christmas tree that seems to be the only token of Christmas in this house the last 3 years. I'll listen to Christmas music all weekend and put me in the mood and I have already told my husband that we are taking Monday night off to get dressed up, go Christmas shopping, and pull ourselves into the fetivities.
