DARN! I all ready have the Christmas blues. I went to bed last night feeling no where near in the Christmas spirit. I was exhausted (as I am every day since the birth of my first child), cranky and just plain grumpy. I have been dreading the fast approaching weekend which brings ever closer the annual Spencer Family Christmas Party. This event turns into some where between a Norman Rockwell picture and the Griswold family Christmas. I thought I should quickly get out of this terrible mood and enjoy the last few days before Christmas, so to do that I thought I would write down all the fun things I love about Christmas........... so here goes.
- Decorating the house (mostly just inside, John handles the outside)
- 97.5 the Christmas channel for the constant stream of holiday tunes
- Wearing obnoxious holiday socks
- Attempting to make, bake and decorate two dozen sugar cookie with a two year old as your personal pastry chef
- The wonderful holiday treats that fill my counters and my waist line
- Candles burning that are labeled "Scents of Christmas" so that at least you can pretend you have a real tree, and you have been baking all day long
- Wrapping presents and hearing the adorable sounds of "oh wow, mommy" from George as he see the bows and glittery paper
- Jack wearing a baby Santa Hat and every on looker commenting on how adorable he is
- Snow! (Oh, please let it snow on Christmas)
- Singing "Santa Baby" as John rolls his eyes
- Enjoying family being together
- Going to church on the Sunday before Christmas, all dressed up
- Watching the Boy's eyes when we drive by the Christmas lights of the homes in Richland that can be seen from space
- Giving to the needy
- Finding beautiful Christmas cards in the mail
- Reading the Christmas Story on Christmas eve
- Having the time off your life watching everyone else open there gifts knowing you did a great job this year
- Staying up late on Christmas eve, being Santa's little elves
- Taking so many pictures you know you will never get to scrap every one of them
- Counting you blessings, because you know you have so many to be great full for this time of the year
Merry Christmas
