I wish I could pin-point exactly where my Christmas Spirit has gone, but I can't. I have thought long and hard on this one too, but I got nuttin'. *sigh* I have not even baked one goodie for this Season..I know right? WOW, eh? I just now, today, addressed some Christmas cards and put them in the mail. (So, if you get your card a lil bit later than normal, now you know why.lol)
It is true that we have had a pretty hard year this year, both Hubby and I have been sick...Hubby was out on short term disability from July to October, my hours got cut at work and then I got sick and that has really put me in a downer mood Im sure. Kbug, our daughter, is the only one keeping healthy so far this year...THANK GOD! I must say that I am also missing my son, who moved out this past January. It's just not the same without both my kids in the house at this time of the year. I am also missing all my great step-kids, grandkids and great grands too...we just never seem to have the time to all get together in one spot at the same time anymore. :(
We have been through harder times and I know that we will get through this too...we both have our faith in God and in one another, and that always brings us through. So, again, Im just not sure what has me so down and missing the Christmas Spirit this year. Is anyone else having similar issues this year?
This weekend, starting tomorrow, I am going to start some baking and maybe even put on some Christmas songs and see where that takes me. My goal is to get the tree up and decorated this weekend..yup, thats my goal. lol I am trying my best to stay positive and not dwell on the negatives of life around me...With that said, I will say that I do feel very Blessed to have this day on earth with my family. I am truly blessed with my friends who may not always understand or agree with me, but they stand with me. lol I hope that you all are Blessed in the same way in your lives.
