I love Christmas. I love the sights, sounds and smells that go right along with the season. I love to deck my halls with the Christmas Village, the train, tree and lights. I remember my mom singing You'd Better Watch Out to us kids when we would misbehave, beginning about on Thanksgiving day. At our house we usually get all the decorations out and put up the tree and turn on Christmas Carols the day after Thanksgiving. However, this year we have not one thing that would indicate that Christmas is only three weeks away. No tree, no lights outside, I haven't even put up the wreath on my front door. Instead of decorating for Christmas, the day after Thanksgiving we had 4 men downstairs framing the basement and 8 children running around playing upstairs. There was no place to send the children since it was about 10 degrees outside and no room downstairs for them to play and I was not about to add to the chaos by bringing out all the Christmas decorations. So our home remains bare. It is such a sad thing:( Perhaps tomorrow I will at least get the wreath up on the door. Oh well, I guess my kids need something to tell the therapist when they grow up:) I hope you all are enjoying your holidays.
